I prefer the braided line myself. I managed to get the full 1500 yard spool of#50onto my 6/0 penn reel. Do I need the full 1500 yrds on the spool? No, but peace of mind is great. There is nothing worse than losing a fish because you didn't have enough line, it's sickening. The 1500 yard spool was only $99 on ebay. Thats about $20 to $30 cheaper than at the bait shops. I just did the buy it now, so you could possibly get the stuff even cheaper, if you took the time to bid. I forget what size leader line I use, but it's big. My leaders are around 10ft long. I was tired of dicken around with the lighter leader line that gets those pig tail coils in them. I don't know if they hurt anything or not, but they bug the hell out of me. I use the 12/0 circle hooks.

Jed you have the easy job we have to hold the flash lights and the rods a much harder job than your simple job of paddling out the baits!!

lol. Sounds like the same arguments we have in our group. I can flip a john boat with no effort, so I don't yak the baits out. I am the one that ends up draggin the yak from the vehicle to the water and then from the water to the vehicle, so I think I make up for not paddlin baits out.
