Stren Gold for visibility, but it seems to have more memory than I like for a small reel, but have not found a better replacement. About 50% of the fish caught on this rig was by watching the line for that subtle twitch while the lure was falling, but once on depth and slowly reeling, you can usually feel the hit, but I still keep watching the line in case they come toward me.
Hmmmmm, I assume the 9MM is a new rod for dock shooting?? :D
