Try switching to a braided line like Powerpro or Fireline for your texas rig. You will feel the bottom better and any strikes you get. Drop down to 8-10lb test as these lines are strong. Always use a polimar knot when useing braids. [/reply]
You mention I should go down to 8-10lb test on braided line. I have to ask, isn't the test of the line the amount of force/pull the line can resist before breaking? I mean, a 10lb test line will break at 10lb of force if it is mono or braid or anything else? is that what the number means?
