Wow, a bowfin! You know I love it. The braid I mentioned is 10 lb test, with the diameter of 4 lb mono. I think I may just go all braid after this!

I hear you friend.....I have seen this type of approach with the leader......I would lean that direction in clear water but I fish such black water the heavy mono hasn't hurt me....Although I had what appeared to be an eight pound Bowfin on a telescopic pole last season and a few minutes into the fight I was wishing I had some lighter line on so he could make a more graceful departure....He ended up wrapping me up on some Cypress Knees and I couldn't do a thing about it!

In heavy cover (which is mostly everywhere I fish, these days) I use some light braid I have left over. I add a 2lb leader to this and use the lightest wire hooks I can find.
Testing the floats in your pool - man, what a life! If I had your money, I'd burn mine!

I caught these fish on my Telescopic Rig David so I have heavy cover line with a number four long shank hook....No Lunker Loogie this time just my old reliable live cricket!

Hook size? Line weight?
Were you using Leo's 'Lunker Loogie?'

Live Cricket with no weight attached to the line....these fish were taking on the fall today....

What was sinking, slowly?
