The Kid can afford to throw $50 non floating nests in the lake so despoiling would be cheap for him.

Got ya. O just for the record it was a 80 dollar net that floated to bottom after one week.

My 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.

I thought that the braid floated and you wouldn't be able to get down as deep as you could mono. Like most, I use the hi vis on my trolling rods.
