65# braid to 50 fluoro - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If you are fishing for yellows, 30 lb leader will be perfect. I use it with both 65 and 50 lb braid and I can not break it under super load. Much easier to work with as well. Just switched over to the RP(not jr) knot by John Collins and it works great and is very easy to tie. You can youtube it for demo. Good luck.

Thanks. Should have clarified that this is my 50# setup. Already set on 25, 30 and 40 pound setups. This is for the bruisers

People use the spangler up to 100 poinds no problem. Small knot with a double wrap around the eye of the hook.

My go to knots are the FG knot or tony pena knot for braid to flouro connection. Very thin knots, fg is the thinnest out there, goes thru guides no prob. It is also rated as one of the strongest as well. For tying hooks the san diego jam, is my go to. Tied san diego jam with no prob at 50lbs.

Good Luck!!

Yeah, I use San Diego or Palomar at the end but was looking for opinions on the fluoro to braid connection for heavier line. Thanks all
