Hi vis trolling line

[tropicrows]

I'm going to spool up my TLD15 for trolling and was wondering what type of hi vis line and breaking strain do you use for around east of Moreton. I don't have a trolling rod so I was going to use an old M10 24kg stick. Will be only chasing the general stuff out there not going out wide after big marlin etc.

Bruce I have been using the Pink 15kg Platypus low stretch mono for trolling (and everything else for that matter)on a TLD20. Dont know about its high visibility but it does seem to be able to knock over anything I have encountered. As far as rods go I am using an 8-15kg live fibre. This seems to do the trick alright as well. I dont reckon you need that heavy a kit for trolling for your normal type pelagics but thats just me.

I have loaded my new TLD 15 wth 15kg Platypus Pink as well. I can see it pretty well when trolling but it goes clear in the water for floatlining etc. Its low stretch and reasonably abraision resistant for a thin line. I think the M10 might be a bit heavy for what you are doing (more suited to 24kg) but you will probably get away with it. I'm using a Silstar 10-15kg with the TLD15. Its a light and powerfull bit of kit

I like the gold platypus low stretch

For trolling I like Platypus pretest in yellow. Very easy to see which is important when you're trolling a few lines to avoid tangles and know where each bait or lure is. A high vis line is also useful when following a hooked fish. The boat driver can see the line so can position the boat as required.

Another reason I like Pretest is that it`s a thick line, and to my mind handles abrasion a bit better without losing strength.

Thanks all above for your input. Now to purchase some line, however I'll stick with the M10 until I see a 10-15kg rod on special somewhere.
