I love 30lb Fireline on the sand, and 50# or 65# powerpro at the canal. The only reason that I changed over to powerpro is that it is a smaller diameter than the Fireline, and casts alot further.

I bet the 30lb Fireline is as strong or stronger than the 65lb powerpro though.

I use braid for bottom fishing ll


I switch between mono & braid .. depending on where ,when & how ,

I don,t use braid in the boat at night anymore // from experience ...IT can be very dangerious ;;

I don,t care for braid ..if i,m fishing weightless plastic that I want on top / It will cast the light stuff further ,but you have to pickup the retreve to keep it on top & you lose the asction you want ;;


Mono . less the 10lb .. when fishing under 20 degrees ... I,ll deal with ice on the eyes .. its alot better than the waterlogged braid being frozen before you get it back on the spool

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

Just call me Dino I guess - the number of times a year I fish over sand or out of a boat I could count on my...uhh...thumb. Tried it this summer, completely threw me off working a plug -

Berkley Big Game is still my choice - of course I still listen to casette tapes too, from time to time so YMMV -

Feel free to not use me as an example...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
