Topshot for tiles?

[jjdbike]

Hi folks.
When rigging for tilefish on a partyboat do you use a top shot between your braid main running line & your bait or jig rig? If so how long? I ask this because obviously depending on depth being fished, line capacity can be an issue and a long topshot will definitely cut into that. I'n fishing that deep, the sensitivity of the braid would be a real benifit, on the otherhand tangles are much easier to deal with on mono tops hot. I'm curious to read what you folks do.
Thanks & Happy New Year!
