    If your talking about spanish macks and wahoo i wouldn't even bother putting your boat in the water unless your going to use wire i fish commercially for both and have a fairly big quota on spanish and i use 130 lb seven strand as the 90lb i used to use lost some horse fish over the years and sometimes comes in with the fish on with only a couple of strands hanging in there.

    I always use single strand wire for lures and gangs
    Dad uses Jinkai on his rigs and has good results

    Oh and run a wire at least 5 foot long
    1500mm long

    There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot

    I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges

    Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)
