I wouldn't recommend using braid directly ...The mainline loop is a critical part of a loop to loop connection system. Done correctly, the mainline loop is a line-doubler. A well chosen line-doubler reduces the tension of the in the loop by half, with no loss of strength (e.g. if the mainline tension is 40 lbs., the tension in the line inside the loop, is only 20 lbs--almost magic).The biggest targeted species are amberjack and snapper with a possible grouper here and there, up to 70 lbs. Maybe if I'm extremely lucky I'd run into an amberjack of 120-130 lbs. I'll be jigging/fishing mostly in depth range of about 60' - 200'. I intend to use 40 lb braid. This Fin Nor Marquesa MA12 reel has 13lbs max drag at strike and 22lbs ...Jun 3, 2010 · 18 posts · Joined 2007. #3 · Jun 4, 2010. Red34, I have two Saragosa. I went through the decision process myself and settled on the 18K's for both. One for popping and one for jigging. My Popping set-up is 65lb Suffix on 7'6" FTU Black Magic, and it has performed very well on our schoolie sized (50-70lbs) yellowfin. i like the 300 gram size butterfly jigs for dropping to catch tuna's. i prefer the long skinny jigs in the 300 to 400 gram size for jigging up snappers and groupers in deeper water over 200ft. a lot of times the current dictates using lighter or heavier jigs to get a verticle jigging action and a better idea of what depth the fish are holding and feeding. ….
