The weather gods will prevail! Vic, I have the same setup and the tip is too soft. Have your tackle shop cut it down to the guide after the tip and put a roller tip on, maybe 15 bucks. Use 80 lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid instead. Its a great mono line and has the diameter of 50#, its waterproof so it won't swell and Stretch so ya lose your bottom feel. Its the only setup I use for party boats. If your only going to fish on your boat go with the braid. It dosen't work on party boats cause if your fishing the Stern the Googan at the bow fishing clams with 5 oz will getcha every time
