That's the plan, but we've experienced some casting challenges with the longer leaders. Still working out the tradeoffs.

Anyone got a clue what the largest shark is that isn't going to spool us with 500 yards of 80 lb power pro? Could we really turn an 8 footer?

I was fishing at a rig when something took one of the baits and it just started swimming away from the rig. We untied and held on for the ride. After about 45 minutes and everyone taking a turn with the rod, we got the fish up close enough to see that it was a Hammerhead that was about 8 foot long.

It got off after making another run.

Get a kayak n paddle your baits out far instead of casting

I agree with the idea, but I'm a bit old for that and my sons haven't signed on for that yet. Looking into a drone to carry out and drop the baits.
