Any swim baiters here?? Just curious what your favorite brand was,
and what
rod / reel combo you prefer. For me, chasing bass, I use a 7' MH
action
baitcasting combo (Shimano Curado), with 30lb PP and a 2' 15lb
Fluoro
leader.

Why such heavy line? 30LB seems kinda extreme, and a 15LB leader...
I've been fishing professionally for quite a number of years and I do
alot of sal****er fishing as well and use less test strength line
than 15.. I do most of my bass fishing with no more than 10LB
throughout unless I intend to fish heavy structure then I will use
15LB. I bet you will definatlely improve your catch ratio just by
dropping your line test by a notch or two.

30# PP (Power Pro) is about 8-10# mono diameter. Throwing a big swimbait
requires a decent size leader. Swimbaits are heavy baits.
