Thanks for the advice Glen! That is a good point about fleas. I guess I figured flea build up would be about the same for either 50 lb or 65 lb braid. I am concerned about line length on reel for fighting kings. Perhaps more than I need to be. I remember fishing the big O during childhood with my cousin many years ago and catching several kings in the 30 to 40 lb range. They hit hard, turned and screamed a lot of line out before getting them to stop, not to mention burning my thumb up trying to apply extra drag so we didn't get spooled out. He was running 20 lb mono but I don't know what size reels or length line he was running. I want to share the experience with my own children and want to make sure I'm properly prepared. Does anyone know how much 65 lb Power Pro will fit onto an Accudepth 47LC? Also, any comments (both pros and cons) regarding the use of braid while fishing off riggers would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith
