I use a high visibility braid 10lb to 2lb. I put a 5 feet 4 pound flouracarbon line. The Flourcarbon is so if I hung it will break off. Also gives me a little confidence the fish does not see the braid when it see it going by. I feel longlining is a reaction bite. Also with braid it stays on reel longer, I can untangle easier then mono. Also I put a black marker on the braid at 60 feet so my lines are out the same each time for depth control.
There's a few videos on youtube with an underwater camera that shows longlining bites. It's not a reaction bite most of the time. You can see them trail it sometimes, then bite. I think the jigs are moving to slow for a bass like reaction bite.
Fishing is like pizza.......Even when it's not that good, it's still pretty good!
