Braided line

Also also the shark add is/was real. I can't find it. It's in the attic at Mom's in OL and FS.

They have a learning curve to tune but it isn’t bad after awhile

They run fine with a BC outfit from the bank (shallow runners) at the Swim Beach in October.

This in orange/yellow:

Suffix 832 in hi vis green
I feel like the color doesn’t fade as fast as PP and is a more natural color than yellow . I run flouro leaders on my jigging rods. 10# on everything seems to drag enough snags to the surface. Power pro works great too. Both strong even when taking a beating. I hate line twist too so I have the bait shop spool all of my line on the spinning reels. Haven’t used any other braid since switching from fireline.

I do run 15# power pro on my crank rods

IMHO: You don't need the leader bullshit:

Preserve the spool. The images of the clips and the swivels need reversed.

Reef runners can be bearcats to tune but can be pretty deadly. Used them a lot up at Tobin.

I hear this a lot but find them easier to tune then other cranks. Probably because I crank very little until the fall and then my experience is very similar to eyexer’s posts

Those don’t typically go out of tune due to the location of the eyelet

The little tuning tool they make for them is really nice but of course I lost mine very soon lol. So I just use my teeth lol

So far I’ve been able to do it with a needlenose

And:

You don’t want to use barrel swivels on the line with cranks. Especially running them deep. Just tie the line straight to a duo fast snap.

I can never find mine

Reef runners now come hand tuned. That is all.

About time for the price of them! Didn’t buy them for that simple reason

Yeah I never used a leader a decade ago and still caught fish, but I never used hi vis line either. Still feel weird using hi vis. It’s so nice for jigging / snap jigging on finicky bites to see the line drop and hit slack.

I love the strength/diameter of braid. It's allowed me to treat my spools like fly reels.

I still have an adequately spooled '93ish Zebco USA filled with 6/20 PP (now mostly white) due to quality bbl swivels and quick snaps (probably re-spooled '06ish--the swivel gets replaced after any rare "major" event with a total loss off 4-10in from the main spool with each clip. The bbl swivel allows for a couple options: Line to line (my preferred as just the leader can be clipped): OR the myriad quick change options available with:

That is all.

That don’t matter. Catching a decent sized fish usually knocks em out of tune. Always check how they’re running before you let them all the way out.

If you use bbl swivels and Sharpies There is no "Hi-Vis" at the bait. Braid can also retain scent IMHO:

That is all.
