    planer line setup

    Marty,
    I am sure you get a lot of questions on the planer rod setup.....hope you dont mind me asking another one....I have been fishing many years,and in the last few,have been using the cleat method for planers,with good results.
    I have now,got 2 planer rod setups,130 bent but,swivel holders, Tiagra 80's,etc.....got my backer on the reels,and went wth power pro 200# braid.
    I watched your vids,and everything seems to be cut an dry,except where you get to the Momoi hi catch diamond line.It is able to use 1.3 crimps,and rated at 130lb,but you are saying it breaks @223 lbs....!!!
    I am wondering about this.Is this true?It makes sense,as the reels will be having close to 50 lbs of drag applied with planers engaged...please set me straight,....I have used many other offshore line,and was wondering about this.I really never heard of 130 lb line with that high of breaking point.....thanks for your great posts and vids....

    thanks....jeff

    Wow.....I feel like I have had my head in the sand,...Are other lines like this also?.....think I will be changing over all my reels to this....does it last the season,if kept out of sunlight?



    thanks jeff

    Awesome line

    If you keep it out of the sun it will last you a few seasons. This stuff is the real deal. It is all I use.
