Fishin' Fool Posted May 14, 2016 Author Posted May 14, 2016 3 hours ago, Crestliner2008 said: Since I only drop shot off-shore for smallmouth, the line I use is 6# test Fireline Crystal, with a 6# test fluorocarbon leader. Have caught some pretty big smallies with this rig over many seasons now. Haven't lost many and none due to line failure. Very reliable combination in my opinion. I absolutely HATE PowerPro. Makes way too much "noise" through the guides, when reeling in your bait or a fish. Besides, I don't need 10# test anything to land a fish in open water and that's about the lightest pound test they offer. JMO. Wow 6# test! Are you using a size 1000 reel or are you using a 600 yard spool to fill your size 2500 reel 1/4 of the way? Quote
