I'm old and getting older. Heck, I'm so old I still have 14lb Stren Mono on 2 of my 3 baitcasters. My third setup is an old Shimano Bantam Curado (green) with 40 or 50lb green Powerpro braid and a 20lb Fluoro leader. It's been my dedicated Texas/Carolina rig rod for several years and it works great for that. However, I was fishing yesterday and broke off my rig in a blowdown. I decided to switch to a weightless Senko and ended up wearing them out on it. Great time. That got me thinking, I still want to keep that rod Rigged for weighted worm fishing, but would like to set up one of my other rods for senkos. The reel is a Shimano Calcutta 201B. What weight and color of braid should I go with? I was thinking to go a little lighter on this setup, especially with the Fluoro leader. Since I'm using a leader, would it be ok to go with a more hi vis braid to see it better for strikes on a falling senko? I really like the way that hi viz blue looks.
Thanks for any help!
