are you targeting reds with that 30lb line? Unless you’re particularly targeting big reds, or boat flipping medium ones, that is overkill. I’ve gone down to as small as 10lb test braid. In fact i have it on 2 reels that i use for light weight jigs. The only down side to it is that i cant use a lighter leader than mainline, so if it snags, it breaks at uni knot. Ive found 15-20lb braid works great, light enough to cast well on our medium rods, and strong enough to land pretty much anything inshore. I’ve landed bull reds with 10lb braid, that stuff is crazy strong, as long as you have your drag set right.
