My main rockfish setup is braid backed with a (at one point) 100 yard mono topshot which is probaby 50-75 yards now. It works pretty well feel wise....although i have on another setup gone braid to short floro leader long enough for a dropper loop or double. And i did notice more feel for sure, even on cattle boats at like 300-350 ft.

Rod selection plays a big part also. But like saba said, if you are drifting fast and its hard to hold bottom or even tell if you are on bottom good luck feeling those dinker rockfish picking at your bait.

Im heading out monday, was gonna try for some halibut. But your last two reports have got me feeling guilty if i dont get some more reds before the end of the year.
