The Lower French River is the best fishing as reported by the Walleye Index Netting (Fall 2013)

From: Unknown: Michigan 6/21/22 Comments: I tried Smackdown for the first time last year, I purchased 10 and 15lb, I used a Fluorocarbon top shot from 8-12lb and it worked excellent, the color held up well and it handled very good!, I caught a lot of Pink, Chum and Silver Salmon with zero issues, smooth, quiet and held Uni knots very well

A long, drawn-out fight with a big tarpon may result in 80-pound leader giving way, chewed through by a tarpons huge raspy sandpaper lips

Discard any remaining fry mix
