Avoid belly hooking pilchards
When the bite is on, and 40-pound rockfish are launching out of the water to crush a topwater, only the toughest lure will survive the feeding frenzy

From: Sam: California 7/7/21 Comments: I ran out of my 20lb P-line and had to buy some at a store that had only Suffix in 8 carrier and all they had was 30lb but I wanted to try 30lb out anyway, the Suffix is great and really strong line I accually bent two Gama 4/0 hooks out so I just tied on new hooks but the 20lb would have broken before bending the hook i've done it enough to know, my only complaint is one day of fishing the green wore off and turned almost white and I don't use leader just straight braid for t-rigging and using a chatter bait so color means a lot to me so i'm going back to P-line in 30lb 300 yrd spool but I know now first hand that Suffix is good braid all in all very strong and strong knots and if color doesn't matter to you From: Christopher: Elizabethtown 9/9/20 Comments: After my first use of about five hours of bass fishing, my low vis green, 40lb test, looked like fluorescent yellow rope in the water

It's a feel presentation, as you lift the lure off the bottom the rod tip with start to vibrate, as soon as you feel the vibration, stop lifting and follow the lure back to the bottom on a semi- tight line.Most strikes occur when the lure falls or just as you lift the lure off the bottom
Some offshore anglers even use a mono topsho t on top of braid just to provide that abrasion resistance for sharp edges or heavy cover
