For swimbaits I fish 55# diawa samurai braid. Its smoother then most braids and quieter too. I would never put mono between my reel and anyrhing worth more then 15 bucks haha

Calicos, Big Calicos, BIGGEST CALICOS!
Baja or Bust 2014 has Asuncion as it's 1st trip. We should be back home and posting by the 8th of Jan. Some of us oldtimers will be fishing the Calicos hard. Rumor has it that 20-25 inch fish are common and the Sandies get pretty big too, and some Calicos up to 30+" being caught every year. Story is they swim down there and die of old age! Time will tell. I am taking my fly rod. Might get lucky! Want to see how many I can release in a day. Big calicos are awesome, YT on the other hand get to be tiring when you get to your mid 60's one a day is enough for me. Tight lines and bloody gaffs! And please feel free to join us on this or any one of OUR trips!!!
