Ill make it very simple we fish just about every weekend and a day or 2 during the week from April through labor day. That includes several tournaments and running charters. Last year for the entire year we ran the torpedo steel line with great results. I will say that the 19 strain wire doesn't read the same on your real line counters that mono does so there is some extra measuring involved. What I did was take it to a large open field and measured in 100 ft sections with a tape measure then looked at the line counter on the reel to see where it was at. Then i just made a cheat sheet till I memorized it. Copper line is easier in that sense cause you just let it out till its all off the reel then you know exactly whats in the water. When it comes to everything else the steel line is much more user friendly. There is no way to kink it and the weight of it makes it much easier to reel in. During tournaments and derby fishing we would run a 45 lb blood run 450 copper on one planner board and the steel line off the other board and everyone on the boat would rather grab the steel to reel in. I will also add that there basically is no difference in the amount of strikes that occurred on the copper as to the steel. There were plenty of days where the 2 rods would take turns with taking shots. This year we are replacing the 450 copper with a 2nd steel line cause of the ease of use. That's saying a lot cause up until last season our 450 copper was by far our most productive non rigger line. Hope this helps good luck and tight lines always!

We ran steel line all last year and its definitely 100 percent more user friendly than copper. You will never get a kink in it no matter what you do with it. Its also much easier (lighter) to reel in than copper. I put it on a tekota 800. I have a couple wraps of mono with 300yrds of power pro braid to 1000ft of 19 straind to 200 ft of steel line. I dont think there was a time that we fished over 50 ft of watwr and didn't have it out there. You literally can cover any depth you want with just 1 set up.
