What do you prefer in line for surf fishing.Im getting ready to put line on a couple of reels. Any advice would be appreciated.
for my bigger rods i have 65lb cajun braid and it holds up to a beating from sharks no problem and has decent knot strengrh when tied properly. for smaller rods targeting whiting and others ive had no problems with 12 or 15 although ive gotten away with 8 many times. my smaller rods have either cajun line or berkeley big game on them.
I use P-Line 25# hi-vis yellow on my two big rods. Usually in spikes so peeps walking down the beach in a daze might happen to see it before they walk into my line. It usually works. It helps to be able to see your line IMO. I use 10 or 15# Suffix clear on my casting rods and pomp rods. I have used Ande hi vis and Big Game hi vis. I liked all three.

</font id=“quote”></blockquote id=“quote”>my cajun braid is plenty visible yet sometimes i get to enjoy the game of how many dazed tourists get clotheslined because they didnt see the 10 and 8 foot surf rods sticking out of the sand
station 18 area of sullivans seems to have the highest laughter count and even though you audibly tell the guy beside you “wait for it…wait for it…” the count still hits 5 or 6 sometimes!
once the walkers get tangled up in braid they dont do it again
i have had 1 instance the same girl ran into my line twice. not sure who was laughing harder me or her friend
