Re: Blackfish leader shy?
Alot of great answers on this one. Recurring theme, fish with what you are confident with. I use 50lb braid, 60#mono topshot and leader, with 40# breakway loop for the sinker. Yes sometimes I break off at the braid and have to retie a topshot, and yes sometimes I lose a sinker when heavier leader may have brought it up. But as others have stated, breakoff a big one and you wont go light again. Great points by Alex, good luck on saturday btw, and the thing with braid is you want to leave that small belly in the line and you WILL still feel the bite, but you will have plenty of power to set the hook and, hopefully, get the fish off the bottom. I will change a lot of things before I change leader, but if you notice a difference it would help to adapt. That being said again there is no right or wrong and the only way to maybe become good at blackfishing, is to go blackfishing.

Re: Blackfish leader shy?
i think braids really helpful when fish are deeper but when you have a big swell its harder to keep that belly in the line
