Now that's a great post
from a true Fishoholic
And DJ perhaps you'll remember meeting me at the MSBA show at Stonehill 2 years ago. I'm the guy who fishes 80# Hollow core Jerry Brown and splice my flourocarbon 10 feet into the braid (not many guys use that combination). I remember because you thought that was over kill, I think it's underkill (kills less). It allows me a better chance of landing a cow that heads for the rocks due to it's ability to tolerate/withstand more abrasion while also giving me the strength to land a large fish in atimely manner. The lower stress level because of a shorter fight along with the increased chances of landing the fish allowing for removal of the hook or plug far outweigh the sacrifice of distance and sink rate from my perspective. Just something to consider. I enjoy listening to you and reading your works even though we didn't see eye to eye. I'll check to see if I can attend the class and if so I"ll gladly pay the $125 to listen/learn from you.
