What pound braid are you guys using on your pitch roads for cobia when sight fishing? I have a couple sargus 6000 series that I want to use this year. I have a ton of 20 for my red/ trout rods but I am sure that’s a little light. Thanks in advance.

I’d go with 50lb on that 6000.

200 lb braid on a Zebco 404 will get em every time.
Yeah I was thinking about the 200 pound mono originally but I could only get about 10 yards on my Zebco.

Gotta use the hi tech lines to get all the performance out of a 404.
20# is all you need. I catch a few every year and never had a break off. Just use new line and set your drag properly and you will be OK. I went through the heavy tackle phase years ago, you just don’t need it if you play your fish properly.

Remember you aer sight fishing and if you need to go to fish, no problem. We use 20# or sometimes lighter if we want to have more fun. (smaller fish)
Fishing for the FUN of it!
You guys are just way overkill…I use Wally Marshall Hi-Vis yellow 4lb test crappie line on my Zebco 202 Slingshot Combo from Wal-mart…

Someone once asked me: “Aren’t you worried about all the gaps in your work history due to fishing?” My response: “I am more worried about the gaps in my fishing history due to work!”
Your bring up an excellent point hurricane, when the cobia see my 202 sling shot they will likely roll over and wait on me to scoop them up with the net. I bet this (**() thing will cast a mile. Especially with that 4 pound crappie braid.

And all this time I thought those things required a special weapon permit. I heard a guy took a swimming bigfoot with one. I’m off to Wal-Mart now.
I just wanna see the rest of that boat behind the slingshot. Talk about tricked out! 
I’d like to watch that show, might even buy a ticket

My grandson caught a 12 lb black tip shark on his zebco 404 so dont discount them all. Of course the reel gave out 10ft from the boat and we had to hand line the rest of the way, but you should have seen the smile on his face. Poor zebco never went fishing again. could not repair it.

How do you release a fish if it is to short with that thing?
