I was planning on having a few reels spooled with mono, but was thinking of
about 15 - 20lb test. Really think I should go as high as 30? I know you've
been there before, so I'll take your word for it.

Charles - The Big O is tannic-stained like most FL fisheries. It is not a
reservoir (not river-run), but does have many tributaries. I don't think
you've been on a lake that even comes close to the size of BigO. I'd be
packing 25-30 pound Mono if you're planning on flippin some weeds...

***You won't have to do the MONSTER hookset thing. Usually just a
quick
snap of the wrist is sufficient. If they've broken rods with
superlines,
the rods probably would have broken with mono if they did the same,
stupid
things. Most of the rods that I've heard of breaking have been when
someone
is trying to tear a lure free from a snag.

I know better than trying to free a snag with the rod... but wouldn't a
good
hookset on a larger fish be about the same?


***Sure, why not? Worse case scenario if you think the line is
visible
is
to run a mono or florocarbon leader.

A chain is only as strong as its' weakest link, so why use a leader?
What's
your opinion on Lake Okeechobee? Clear, stained, or would you worry
about
clarity with PP?

I'm only going to spool up about three rods with this stuff, so I guess
I
can fall back to mono if I loose confidence in this stuff. I've just
heard
alot about PP, and never tried it. Live and learn they say!

Thanks for your responce!
