Re: What line to use at Clear Lake...?

I like floro myself, but I will also use heavy mono at times. Braid works great but with the zero strech it can create problems if you have a proffesional over run, I have snapped of a few baits from this and they fly for miles, same could happen with your swimbaits.

Just keep an eye on it. If you notice it leeking then you have to replace it. Otherwise its just the plastic bending. Plastic is pretty plyable, so if you loosen the strap it may go back.
