I don't think he ever puts out less than 3 collors then the board America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Can't tell you what the line was, it was on a pole the Captain had and handed me when he was catching a d I wasn't. We were using the count down method where we'd cast a worm rig out, count to a certain number before retrieving it slowly. The lead core kept the rig down, where my mono brought the rig up during retrieving.

You don't notice it much when reeling in a fish. But you will when reeling it in empty. Millions of trees die every year to print environmentalist publications

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I would recommend and 8 to 8 1/2 foot rod with a line counter reel as well. Also recommend using the Suffix brand. Tie on a swivel and about a 6ft fluorocarbon or mono leader. Makes life easier when you don't have to attached a dipsy diver or bottom bouncer etc to the line to fish at depth. Remember KISS... keep it simple stupid

I've had replacement spools sitting in the my rod building shop for a few years but the old stuff has yet to fail once. There are a few 30lb+ flatheads on that line and always perform flawlessly
