Whole lot of Topshots

[hammer4reel]

I use this line for just about all my top shots on braid . For most inshore set ups .

at about 12-15’ each time for top shot , another 3’ for teasers 

took a bunch of years to use up 4750 yards

That's a lot

How long does it stay fresh?

Why do you use top shot for bottom fishing? I would think less mono the  better - less stretch which is the point of braid in first place. 
 

I just go braid to swivel then 3’ of 40# mono for leader dropper and bucktail.  
 

I know there has to be some advantage if you are doing that………

No hardware , and many spots we fish have well over a 10’ raise in structure . So looking for abrasion resistance .

That would explain my 8 bucktail donation to the reef fund Saturday.   And that was after at least 10 good recoveries back tracked on. Thanks.

Has anyone ever sent down one of those underwater fishing line cameras and see what some of these wrecks/artificial reefs look like? I bet it's like a Christmas tree with all the ornaments (bucktails, etc). stuck on it

Divers clean up especially on Shrewsbury rocks!

They rust rather quickly. Never sent a camera but I have dove a few of them.
