what pound test line to use

[pieman9155]

come in aug. and sept  i have 40lb braid think 20 lb flor is that good

[Sk8man]

If downriggers 30 lb Blood Run Sea Flee mono with a fluoro leader. I wouldn't be using braid at all at that point in the season.

[bandrus1]

you need the heavy mono simply to keep the fleas away...not because of the fish fight

[pieman9155]

You could just tie in 100-200 ft of flea flicker or blood run sea flee onto your braid.  Then run a 20 lbs leader off that.  The flees grab ahold of the line between the downrigger ball and the surface.

30 pound mono plain and simple has always worked for me during flea season. If running spoons use a 12 to 20 pound fluro leader. If running flashers and flys tie the mono straight to the flashers or paddles.

got 6 spool coming 2 on back order  can wait to get back up there

Check Walmart. They always have 30 lb big game in our store.I keep the 30 pound on through September. Can't beat it. Thats what they make barrel swivels and fluro leader for.

I'm with steel fire on the big game.....30# is plenty....when running flasher flies or spin docs, no need for a leader....15lb flouro leaders spliced in for my spoons.....Braid is terrible with the fleas....

i was using braid for dipsy divers but will try the 30# mon for them

[BAZOOKAJOE]

Keep the braid on for divers. Or switch to wire. 30 lbs big game/flea flicker/sea flee for riggers with a lighter floro leader for spoons.

I use 65  # power pro om my dipseys w/ no probs. Mono has to much stretch & you will not like it for the divers.

Stranded Wire for dipseys...yes some fleas get on sometimes but easy to get off and you get good hook ups and cuts through the water nicely...not as easy off boards as braid though.

I run 14lb 100% Trilene Flouro.  I dont seem to have a horrible problem with sea lice.  Maybe Im lucky
