TOPIC #1

I was reading online about WSB in La Jolla and the obviously knowledgeable author recommended 150# swivels for his preferred WSB rigs.

If I'm using 65# braid and 40# Blackwater leader, does having more than a 50# swivel make any difference?

Are these strength measurements comparable for lines and swivels, or are we comparing different issues?

TOPIC #2

On a slightly different note, I'm currently reading and digesting Between Two and Twenty Fathoms written by Captain Mark Wisch of Huntington Beach. I'm finding it to have a lot of good local fishing tips for Southern CA without all the BS and fluff we often have to sift through. Well written. Lots of experience based details that kayak fisherpeople can relate to.

For those of you who like to study things, it's a recommendation I would like to share.
