That was on the #40. Zing pow. Pulled line and snapped like I was tied to a truck being pushed off a cliff. I had #60 rigged but not out. Was looking for action first.

That's a heart break for sure. 60# is a good idea for strength and abrasion resistance but unless you have a PA could you pull much hard er on 60 than 30 with out tipping your yak? Ive tried to break off big bat rays using 4/0 lb and about tipped. Mike

Hey Mike,
I'm #145 and on a PA. I can surf really well so I have really good balance and strong core. I've broke off #60 night fishing snagged on the bottom. There is no way I could put #60 pressure on something like a Revo. Even with the #40 high pressure I gotta get my gangster lean on for sure. It's a really good point. I wouldn't recommend hanging something big on #50 or more unless you know what you're getting into.


Thanks, Brian

I wouldn't troll w anything less the 65 braid and at least 80 pound floro. Preferably 100 pound floro, it's not about how much I can pull on these fish but the extra line abrasion I get for the heavier line.

I have 80 lb braid 80 lb floro setup for trolling who's going out next I'm getting ants in my pants watching the video of that guy land one

Definitely agree. I also want to get bit though. I have a few friends that have been putting the big cows on deck of their boats and they can't seem to get bit on anything more than #80 with a couple on the #100. Maybe being on the yaks we have an advantage though.
