[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 496063, member: 3438"] Not sure you would want advice from someone that has never caught or touched a Blue Cat, Flathead, or Striper. ;) The only thing remotely close, that I do, is trolling for muskies. Similar rig to what you are using: 7' 6" and 8' HF rods with abu reels. We use braid with floro leader and wire leader. The braid is 60-65lb though. Our channel cat rigs are 7' HF with braid and floro leader. Run 50-65lb for that. A huge channel cat in our area would only push near 20lb or so. Nothing like a flathead or blue down south. My thought is the braid you have is too small for your quory, but it is probably better than switching to mono. If you need a shock leader, than maybe mono for that. I'll be interested in what the experts say and how it compares to my northern fishing. [/QUOTE]
