    Capt. Josh,
    What lb test are you spooling with? Is this the Hollow core? Fishing with admin this year we used 65lb power pro on our Tyrnos 25s. This was my first season using them for trolling. It was also nice using them on the high speed reels as we would deep drop for tiles when we were done the morning troll. Tangles were a bit more adventurous than when using mono. What type of connections are you using to the Fluoro? Thank You for your time. I appreciate your input. Tim

    Momoi Diamond 60lb for your 50s and Suffix 30lb for the tld 25s.

    Both are very durable and easy to see if you pick the high vis.

    Josh is right about the braid backing if you have the extra money. Its nice to know that you'll almost never run outta line

    For your TLD 25s Hi Vis Sufix either 20# or 30#.For whitey and sails we put a 20' wind on to a very small snap swivel. Our circle rigs are on 4' of 60# flouro.

    For your tuna rigs, see Josh's post
