Here's My question ~ on the narrower 1000 , How would You guys spool up for Fincky Y.T , Y-fin or Bluefin that need a topper of 12 - 15 lb. ( I've read that the braids below 40lb. are a pain to twist up to mono ? Or just spool up the whole thing with that size Mono like we used to - When they were picky at Cortez Bank ?

send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

ok Thanks , the reason I ask is because I have fished Rigs Yellowtail and Cortez Bluefin when the Only Line they would Bite is 12 Lb. Pink Ande ( Never had to worry about that in Sea of Cortez ) which Brand of Braid is the Best for the Buck ?

just stick with a brand name product and you should be fine.  never paid too much attention to braids, as long as they don't break!

I haven't worked it out quite yet but got a tip on it .  This Frame is a Thing of Beauty ( from Alan ) check Pics and have a question on the name of the Left Pin .

The schematic lists the part as

"Part # 0050 - Cross Pin B",

but I would just refer to it as a

'spool shaft pin'.
