Alrightey-then, let's start off with standard stuff.
For our tossin' sticks, what line do you like to use on the Blues and Stripers?
Brand?
Weight?
Color?

17lb suffix tritanium clear - Coop turned me onto it and I haven't had any problems with it breaking or nesting up on me. Great stuff

usually when shark fishing, for striper and drum and such, I will use 40#. in fact speaking of line I think it is time to re line my reels, I have not been out now in at least two months. I am getting the itch again real bad.

Looks like I need to dump the green ande 20lb and try the suffix this season, good reviews. I'll keep the ande on my spinners but anything that will help me get some distance without nests on my conventionals I'll give a shot.

While I don't surf fish much i really like Berkley ironsilk. Cast great, has good abrasion resistance and seems much stronger than it's rating.
