Should have mentioned I am using inline boards.
inline boards? are those just the yellow offshore tackle boards with the tattle tale? that's what i use and i plan on calibrating next week. just trying to figure out what type of line to get. i'm some what a stickler for braid and i like the fireline by berkley. so if i go braid should i go the equivalent of mono? so 10 lb mono would be like 20 lb braid? also i try to run a 5 or 6 foot mono leader on cranks or is that not needed?
