Here are the strengths that I most often recommend based on fishing type: Redfish, seatrout, snook, and flounder on the flats: 10 lb to 15 lb braid main line is my favorite Big Snook and redfish in inlets and/or near structure: 20 lb to 30 lb braid depending on size of expected fish and the amount of current and structure that is typically present Tarpon/Cobia on the flats or near inlets: 20 lb to 40 lb braid/mono main line depending on size of expected fish Conclusion When fishing for most saltwater species, its important to use a fishing leader to increase the odds of landing the biggest fish of the day while also having the ability to effectively cast and present your bait for increased strikes
