[fish fingers]

Last time I sooke to gary all he has done on his rod has pht a 40 mm kwag on the but of his rod the rest of the guides are the same and he can certainly ping a lead out with know issues but wgen I sooke to stevie williams he said not so much a stiff rod and like you say two top anglers so can't argue I.ve been using similar set up with no issues

I use a braid leader 80 lb. My reel braid is 60lb. Nee problems. I have a Penn 8000.

Well when we go to Norway i will scrounge some 80lb off you and see how it goes!

Though i recon a leader is probably pointless with 60lb main line

I use 66lb braid straight through in heavy ground, or 40lb braid with a 66lb braid leader on mixed. No problems so long as you don't fill the spool too full

65lb whiplash .21 with 90lb leader .50
When I first started I had .70 mono leader absolute nightmare first wind knot 10yds lost,second wind knot about 80 yds out took me 1.5 hrs unpicking the knot.mono leader removed and no more bother,Iam only using leader for abrasion purpose.

The thing is with braid straight through from a safety aspect is unlike your shock leader you can see if it I frayed but with braid it is hard to see especially when wet and could possibly snap when you go to hit it

Stan even if your on mono i wouldn't be swinging if anyone was close to the right of me in any case.
