In Response To: Re: 80# Test (Dan)

I used Ande light green tourament 80 for years when I was fishing touraments. Stuff is so soft its good for one big fish. Then went to Trilene dark green big game 80 and the stuff damn near lasts forever if you store the reels out of the sun. Very hard surface line, but like baling wire. A binini twist with Ande I'd use 21 twists, with the Trilene now use 34. The braided line is no good for big game fishing, no stretch. Good for bottom fishing or live bait drifting, but not trolling. The flourocarbon leader material is top notch for trolling baits, again, so hard a bill will hardly scratch it.
