==========================================

30 feet sounds like a lot to me. I troll with wire line and use about
10 feet of heavy mono for a leader, but I'm no expert. Some days I
catch fish and some days I don't.


Have you tried braided line yet? It does work well.


I've been thinking about it - what do you use?
