You talking about slow trolling, like spider rigging? I figure you are,
but anyway, I have settled on 12lb. for my crankbait trolling. When I used
to side-pull, I used 10lb Fireline for the main line, and 8lb Ultrathin for leader.
I appreciate thin line, but don't like having to stop in the middle of a hot bite
and re-tie because of abraded line, and what I mentioned does not seem to
bother the fish. I recently bought a spool of Berkley "Big Game Solar Collector" at W-mart, I really don't care for the line's properties, but LOVE
that color! Man, even I can see that stuff. It shows up better than anything
I have ever tried, great when you've got a bunch of lines out and fishy tries
to make trouble, heading for another line on the way in.
