NIB, .030 is 80lb, .027 is 60lb, .025 is 52lb, .023 is 44lb.

Cheferson, the Orvis Mirage is great stuff, I like it much better than the Segaur. Just try tying the 80lb Mirage, it is in know way stiff as some say ALL Fluoro is. I use up to the 80lb when fishing the rocks sometimes. I know some say it makes no difference, and at times it doesnt. When the fish are stacked, blitzing, competing for food It Does Make a Difference! Its at times that the fish are really picky that it does make a difference, usually on those flat calm moonlit nights when the water is crystal clear. Its those times when you can consistantly pull out nice big fish when everyone else is bitching that there are no fish around. Ive had nights when fish would not hit an eel with a heavier leader but they would if you dropped down to much thinner stuff. Sometimes fish wont touch a fresh dead eel but they will a lively one just hooked. Try dragging chunks with frozen stuff, youll catch stupid teen to mid 20lb fish, switch to fresh and youll get youre forty +. Sometimes hook size matters. Sometimes all the difference is waiting a five extra seconds before you start reeling, the speed of the retrieve. Some people refuse to try new things, they are stuck in their ways, dont expirement and therfore never advance, they just reach a plateu and stay at that level, never advancing, always talking about the good old days.
