Re: trolling deep w/ briad, for inshore.

Has anyone tried going deep w/ braid. Is is supposed to sink like wire?, was thinking of buying the new Penn Lever drag #975lc, and trolling like offshore tuna. Fish Montauk all ledges 28/ 34ft. Occasionaly deep 41ft. Again nothing sinks like wire, but fishing with one rod in boat ( just myself on boat w/ rear station used )..it would be a pleasure not to use the wire.* although nothing beats wire..so far.

Anyone also buy the new reel?, I think its the Penn 975lc lever, sells for under $300. Any info would be great!

Also: Neil, the marked wire works great, now it comes in many grades and weights. There is even a big spool..600ft for deep deep. The marks have never..fallen, moved, slipped or otherwise. Marlin Marked wire, 30lb,40lb,50lb..300 ft spools, and 600 in the 50lb.
