Thread: What's the best line for spider rigging ??

Heck, as muddy as it is on my home lake, Barnett, I've been using 20 lb hi-vis BRAID lol don't make that much of a difference. When we were at Enid this Spring, I heard several people talking about braid vs mono and you'd catch more on mono cause they could see braid. I had a mix of poles out, some with braid and some with mono so I half way kept up with it. I didn't see any difference at all to be honest. That was just one time though and not enough to come up with a clear conclusion on it though.

DD, that is great line if you want to relocate brush piles or tow a boat to the bank..On the positive side you can use it for Cobia fishing on the coast...:rolleyes::rolleyes:

DonG, , it really hacked me off this spring about the oil cause I was gonna take the boat down and Cobia fish for the first time ever. Maybe this next spring I can get on 'em. That's one reason I bought the bay boat, to fish in the gulf then the oil happened this year.AAAHHH

We use to fish Platform 107..Great Cobia(Lemon Fish, Ling) & Red Snapper fishing..Of course there were no limits back then...We would sell the Red Snapper in Mobile to pay for the trip..

I really miss those times...

I just want some inshore action and heard the Cobia would get inside the islands. That's about as far as I trust that 18 1/2 footer I have and feel safe going to Horn, ship and Cat island. I'm still hoping to get down there this fall to hit the Specks and reds but we'll see if I can come up with the time when there's a full moon or close to it. The last 2 trips I took, there was a lag tide so no current at all. There MIGHT have been a 1/2 foot difference in high and low tide so needless to say, we didn't catch squat
