I have been chasing, studying and catching these rubber lipped critters since 1976
..... There is no doubt in my mind that these fish are line shy. Flouro helps. Especially on those tough days. Take a close look at the keen eyeball of a blackfish. Go online and watch the BIG ONES eyeball the scene and bait before they approach. You will see them turn their head and give it the O'l one eye staredown. I also prefer to fish mono and with braid will use extremely long topshot whenever conditions permit. Another tip....take the shine off your pretty sinkers !!! Every little bit helps. The other thing I do not like for togging is the crappy lead we are running into. Sinkers are much harder and have a "ting" to them much different than the old soft "quiet" lead.
