i went out last saturday, didn't troll far out but did troll the bouy line, 2 kings hit my purple/black yozuri with the 60 wire. got blood on my new rod/reel combo from outcast. really liked the tld20 cant wait to try it on a wahoo or maybe a white marlin in the fall that i always hear about.

Congratulations. Next time swing into Outacast and pick up a couple of 30 Stretchs on hot pink and one natural forget the wire run them back about 30 to 50 ft. and ice down your case of beer. Have fun.

Why 30s? and why hot pink?

Water is usually dirty at the sea bouy and they run deeper than 25s

First off I am new to this forum and new to the blue water scene. The dynamics here are interesting. Obviously there are some very knowledgeable and experienced (and intelligent) anglers who are offering some great information. I am little surprised that they are allowing themselves to "argue" with the people that use their limited knowledge and experience to help inflate their self esteem by answering questions posed by people like me who admit they don't know or don't have experience. For the people that do that I have one small bit of advice...

Better to be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Now back to the original subject of this thread. I too am curious about leaders and leader material for blue water trolling. I have limted funds but have already seen that wire on something like a butterfly jig decreases the number and variety of fish that strike it. I have been told for those jigs that 80lb floro was a good compromise. I would still lose an occasional jig but a good balance. So wahoo aren't picky and cable or wire is just fine. It seems that many of the trolling lures can be used to catch wahoo, dolphin, tuna and various billfish. If I am setting a trolling spread and wanting to catch anything that will bite, what is the best combinations? Are wahoo more likely to hit the deeeper baits like the bonita, or other diving plugs, so use cable or wire...what about the surface baits like ilanders, dusters, cedar plugs, etc.? SHould I rig those with heavy mono?
