Some good, well rounded replies (except for Frank'shttp://www.bdoutdoors.com/forums/ima...ons/icon10.gif).
I hate the polls that start out with "what is th BEST"...
There is more than one way to skin a seal, and it is hard to argue with a captain that consistently catches billfish, regardless of his gear/rigging.
i also think what type of fishing you are doing....fun, tourny, record....it all has different ways it would be put together.....i know for me all are VERY different but i do like the micro-dyneema stuff........in the old days between fishermen and tennis players lots and lots of cats lost all 9 of them so it's nice to have some room to breathe now a days.
thank you 'O' 'G' san for bringing up such a good subject to chat about.....these days some of us must have some wild ways of dangling a piece of plastic in front of a member of the istiophoridae family. ok
fudge
Wild ways, 'fo sure.Quote:

I have not been able to duplicate that since, but it is not for lack of trying...
