Best line for planer reels running big boards, from reel to board..

[Rtrucking40]

Just put a new set of big Jon reels on the boat and running otter boards off them. I don’t care for the line that came spooled on the reels it seems to really catch the wind and getting a lot of slack in it to the board so my releases are not sliding down as far as I’d like. What’s the best line to re spool them with?

I would use 200lb test Power Pro or Amish Outfitters 500lb spectra

 

PowerPro Spectra Downrigger Cable Replacement | FishUSA

Amish Outfitters | FishUSA

 

Releases slide much better on either one

I use the 500 lbs spectra, but I don't care for the white color. Old eyes liked the high visibility orange I had previously.
