p-line for me I put 100' plus the leader, usually 30 ft of l 6-8 lb test leaderwith a spro -50lb - swivile works great! passses through all the guides great!

I run 9" copper rods and my wife hates them. not the rod but the 3-600 ft of line out, i tell her fish on, she tells me you reel it in in!
ted
shorter rod are the way to go, easier to manuver in the boat!
ted
ps i need an auto pilo or a new fishing partner, she doesn't like driveing the boat into the wind!
i took my new/old boat out fro a shake down last fall and i only got 10mph at 3000rpms, looking at the prop(volvo 275 drive) it had several big dings I sent it out this spring for repairs and it was definitely spun, yours sounds like a coupler. Either way it aint cheap but is alaways worth it!

Ray. cause we'd have to pay rfor their blitering feet cause the never had to work a day in their lives and probably PTSD for forcing them to work! Chipper Sheddder !

Billy,
you said so right! Dywaye Finkle said to say HI, Our state gov and fed is so out of control and out of touch I'm rreally scared what the end will bring! Put a farmer who has to fight for everydime and has a birth cetificate! in office and maybe we we will see a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 gallons of straight non toxic anti freesze every time, mine is an older a volvo drive just pull the top intake hose and dump it in . anit freeze is cheap compared to A REBUILD
