I find using a lesser strength line in attaching the sinker to the dropper-loop leader can sometimes save your fish as well as save some line on the spool. If I'm using 50# braid as my main line, and 50# as my dropper loop leader, I'll use 25# to tie my sinkers. I pre-tie them, doesn't really take long (2-3" tops). This way if your sinker hangs up and your ON, ...God-willing, the sinker line snaps first and you salvage the fish. If your hung up with no fish on, hopefully you can snap the sinker line saving your leader and running line. Lotta guys do it different ways. I'm sure the comm guys have their own little secrets too.

Should be fun time.

...as a reminder, Bluecrabs are not good tog bait.
