    cobia tips needed

    well, I'm am in a connundrum, if all you major ling-targeters would be willing, what are y'all's favorite types of line to use for ling on a pier?
    I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.

    Tater caught a 50lb fish 4 years ago on 15lb mono. Its all about how confident you are in your tackle and terminal tackle. Not to mention the amount of pressure you are going to put on a fish.

    If you think 30lb mono is just a tad much, I'd go with 25. I personally use 25 if I ling fish with mono, and it's great.

    I know guys that use 20# mono. I put 20# Illusion on my set up. That stuff is tough as nails so I trust it.

    Give a googan a king, and he can eat for a day. But teach a googan how to kingfish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years
