Fishhawk probe on braid, 150 or 200lb?

[BRsnow]

Adding a fishhawk to maximize my trips to the Great Lakes, any preference on lb braid or issues with a probe? Thanks

Switched to Braid last season. Complete game changer. 200#. Nothing different about probe setup. Went from cable to braid, same probe setup.

Downrigger cable is 150lb. Your braid can be 150lb as well. If you go to 200 or 250lb braid then you gain nothing over the cable as far as line diameter is concerned. As for running a probe on braid just be careful with it. Strip off 25' every Spring. The sun will deteriorate braid over time.

I used to run braid, but switched over to cable because the fleas would stick to the braid like crazy
