I have been coming up to little bay de noc now for 5 years and i always used a power pro leader line (green) and have had good luck... I am just wondering if you guys had any other ideas that would help me out more??? Thanks
i like using berkley vanish or 100% flourocarbon, and the smaller the hook, the more likely you are to get a good hook set. i will even use a stinger hook with the bigger minnows.
I tried to respond to you, but couldn't through PM.
I usually just use 8lb. for tip ups on the bay. In other instances, I go down to 4 or 6. I have thought about stepping up to 12lb at times though. I've never had an issue with 8 though unless pike are in the area.
I'm a big steelhead fisherman in the spring and I have used the green Halo for that application. I wasn't impressed with it and went back to the clear. It gave me piece of mind too. I steelhead fish clear water, stained water, green water, cloudy water etc and always come back to clear no matter what the conditions. I do quite a bit if steelhead fly fishing too and a lot of guys love the Seaguar. I absolutely hated it. Not sure if I got a bad spool or what, but it seems a little cloudy and breaks 10x easier...usually at the net.
Hope that helps!
P.S. been using P-Line exclusively for eight years...aside from a spool or Seaguar.
