Yep That Wrasse is truly amazing  :o
Great pictures Luke.
Love the boats which does certainly add to the degree of difficulty no plush comforts there!

Hi Mark,

For PE8/10 Stickbaits, I typically run a 150lb straight leader connected via FG Knot. This is very much playing with fire, but I've been enjoying effortless casting and superb action on the stickbaits.

Usually, if I run a single leader it will most likely be 200-240lb Fisherman Super Stealth connected via FG.

Heavy PE10/12 monster outfits, I used a 1.5-1.7m 150lb Twisted to 400lb Varivas Bite Leader (double crimped).

Hope that helps  :)
