3. Mar 26, 2015 Jacob Breaux 0
  @bassmaster417 The 400lb line is just the leader. Main line is 20-40lb usually for casting setups
4. Mar 26, 2015 Dylan Garrabrant 0
  Oh cause when I fish reds I use 15-20lb test
5. Mar 26, 2015 ThatOneFisher 0
  Sweet. I'm thinking of going in 2 weeks, do you think they will still be out there or should I go after bull reds?
6. Mar 26, 2015 andydinh 0
  And I use 400lb leaders cause u never know what ur gonna hook up to from the regular bull red to 200lb Rays and sharks and also when using my leader grabber instead ...more of a net @bassmaster417

  @muskiemilitia1 I'd say the best starter kit would be the pac bay hand wrapper or the American tackle one on mudhole

  What would you recommend for a start-up kit? I've been looking on mudhole and a couple other places. Keep in mind I've never dabbled in wrapping/building ...more at all. Thanks!
