line for tt40
Is 10 lb mono to light for pulling TT 40s. i have 10 lb on my line counters works well for 10 and 20 jet divers and matches precision trolling book. I have been thinking of picking up some TT 40s so I will be letting less line out to get to desired deepth.
Thanks
Mitch

If you are using inline boards and TT40's that is a lot of drag.
A break off would be pricy. I think it would hold it, but pushing it.

8# plus fish, drag of board and if you get a board that dives, might be very frustrating.

10 lb Test is fine
I use the old fashion Jet 40's and all my reels are spooled with 10 lb Triline . Pull them behind Church Walleye Boards and have never had a problem with breaking . Use the drag on the reel and you wont have a problem at all .

Braid line
I started out with 10 lb mono on my tru trips years ago and got tired of breaking lines, losing fish and equipment and switched to braid, the only thing I regret is not switching sooner. I have had the same braid on my spools for years without replacing and with mono, I was constantly replacing line. I would absolutely recommend going to braid for longevity of the line if nothing else, but I have also found the hook ups are much better with braid than they were when I used mono. You don't have to set the hook with braid so you catch more of those lite bites. You also get more consistent presentations without the fluctuations of mono in my opinion.
I'm sure you will get some differing opinion but this has been my experience. I think if you are going to troll, braid is the only viable option.

braid is a good option. as well
I have a good fishing buddy that loves his 10-4 Fireline . Most guys use the 30-10 Power Pro as well. The 10-4 Fireline is excellent due to being such small diameter. Less line out to the same depths.
I prefer the smaller mono as its more fun and sporting realing the fish in . I think the 30-10 is overkill for walleyes as that is what we use Salmon fishing in Lake Michigan and Ontario.
