Quote from: MexicanGulf on November 13, 2023, 11:35:43 AMHi, I mainly swordfish in 2000 feet of water. I have heard that for my fishing technique it is really unproductive to use Hollow Core, because this material tends to flatten and as the fishing depth increases it has a very negative impact on the sea current. It is true? This thing scares me.

The best swordfish angler I know of exclusively uses hollowcore.


Interesting.  I have a bunch of questions. Any answers would be appreciated.

Reasoning for using hollow?

How deep?

Line size, weight used?

For the knotless splice into the topshot.
Depth up to 2000ft. Mainline is either 80 or 100lb PowerPro Hollow, not certain. Weight... lots. 80oz+, but on a breakaway.
