He's a hell of a puller and one of the nicest Capts. on the water.

Received payment for ChrisL, WB, Uncle Luna and Bay Bound Bill. Thanks guys. 

[ChrisL]

Need some guidance from those more experienced....
I'm going to be using an Avet SX reel for the trip (if it gets here in time  ).

I'm planning to spool it with 40lb braid.  I don't want to go too heavy on the braid since the reel will be used more for fluking than anything else.
I'm up in the air between PowerPro and Suffix. 

I have 50lb TripleFish leader I was planning to use for rigs.  I'm aiming to use it as a 15ft topshot terminating in a sinker loop.  And then use the same leader material for snelling hook. 

Sound reasonable?  Or should I go heavier on anything?

[Luna Sea 5]

I like power pro.. what you have sounds good.. add a 3way swivel to your rig, pup a weight on 12 lbs test off the swivel so if you get snagged, all you have to do is pull hard and the sinker will snap off without you losing your rig..

I just put 65# Power pro on my SX for the tog season Chris...( your 50# is just fine )I just take my 20# off that reel by spooling it onto an empty reel and save for next years fluke season...then switch back..

50# on the leader is fine....whatever line to line knot you like but pick one that you can tie with cold hands..  (I used the Albright )

I personally stay away from any 3 ways or swivels...just more to hang you up on the rocks...keep it simple...

Most guys like the " Belmar rig " for that reason, easy to rig with cold hands and get back in the water fast...
