fisheye48 (8/24/2008)what are you using for a reel? 30 or 50 wides? and is it a bent butt rod or standup gear? did you have to back down on the poon or were all the 85lb braid lines in the way? which bait did he hit the one on the rigger or the flat line? 3' of 80lb for redfish? i fish 20lb around docks and and 2500 reel and have had them wrap me around 5 or 6 pilings at a time and still get the fish out...its called finesse if you use that you can use lighter gear and make fishing a little more fun
:bowdown:bowdown:bowdown it might have been a 80w or 130w. I beg the differ you must have not caught a big tuna b/c they can empty a reel pretty quick.
