30lb big game, light blue or light green, its been very good, no complaints at all. Heard good things of maxima also. If you're gonna do braid, 50lb power pro.

How much of the 30lb is on there?? Just a little or do you rarely get down to the braid?

Anyone use Jerry Brown braid? At the halibut seminar in Seattle the guy's said that the Jerry Brown braid last's over twice as long as Power Pro and doesn't fade or lose it's color (bleed). The stuff is not cheap either.

Use to use 30 ultra green as my leader, but in my deduction of fish lost & fish gained. my 60 then to 80 the have increased in landed as supposed to my speculation of leader shy fish lost

I run 80 braid as my main

Any issues with the thin braid cutting into your spooling pinky?

I'm using 50 pound Suffix 832 super braid - perfectly round, does not bind into itself like other braids. I also splice in 40 pound Suffix florocarbon to ensure the braid doesn't cut into the Scotty Downrigger clips when large fish hammer the bait. Love the rippin sound of braid like Derby. Excellent set up, and bonus is the braid telegraphs what the fish is doing and adds greater feel to the fight. Its like sex without the condom.

Been using florocarbon for leader - no turning back. Less abrasion issues and invisible in the water.
