34 inches of 30 - 35 pound Maxima between hootchie (purple) and flasher  ;)

Don't ever fish them in the fresh you see... ;D

Cheers,

But if you're using braid (halibut, sturgeon, etc), reccomend TUFF line, very good strength to line-diamater ratio (50 lb braid dia = 8 lb mono dia, or something like that)

I managed to fit 570 yrds of 50 lb TUFF line onto a reel designed to only hold 320 yrds of 20 lb mono (GTi 320), I realize the underrated for this class of line strength, but this reel has actually lasted me longer than all my other reels so far (with regard to drag problems).

I use Tuff XP. Unlike Fireline Tuff doesn't fray and it doesn't dig into your reel
