Downrigger Rods

hi Guys

What lb test you running on your Downrigger rods? I've been running 30lb big game cause of fleas, but really hate running such heavy line. Any advice? Thanks in advance

I've been using 20# Big game for the last three weeks with no problems. I have a set of rods with 20# and a set with 30# in the boat, and prefer the lighter line myself.

I use 17 - 20 lb test. No problems
