"Perhaps a lighter leader (20) and less terminal tackle would help."

There was only one deadly #^&#^&#^&#^& on board so I was using 50lb flouro tied directly to the lure. Next trip will be different with 15 and 20lb flouro on board. There are no swivels for the line to line knot, I use triple surgeons knot for the braid to flouro connection.

Thanks for trying to help,
Mike

i made the switch a couple of seasons ago. troll at 4-6 knots. i hold the rod so i don't miss the first run. braid to swivel to 4' of 20# floro to a direct tie to the lure. use small swimmers - crystal minnows, fast tracs etc....
