You going shark fishing with the top one? You should definitely use 6lb test on a fairy wand for the big bait, don’t want to kill the action…

My pound test is decided by the cost. $6 is 6 pound. $20 is 20 pound. That big lure is at least 65 lb braid.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Yes sir It’s just a ginormous walking bait so I’m not to concerned about losing it (unless a giant ol striper decides to take it ).

Just a suggestion KnotT, make sure you have a camera rolling while throwing that giant beast. If in the unlikely event that a great white shark is around to eat it, the explosion should be fantastic!

I no right Size really doesn’t matter (at least in my fishing world). If it’s hungry enough anything will try to eat something. (Perfect example .
