When the fleas show up thin diameter line will load up. I run 80lb braid not for strength, but because it’s similar in diameter to 30lb mono which makes fleas a non issue.
Friend of mine wanted to get his teenage son and 81 year old grandfather out. Put my buddy in a stand in my side yard, the other to in a ground blind in my foodplot out back.
Ten minutes in this guy showed up at 20 yards. Poor kid missed it. Hoping something comes by for him before dark.
Little better pic
Public land. Put an arrow in its shoulder last year but not a lethal hit. Had pics last year after and again this year. Today everything lined up. Ten yard shot and one happy guy.
