I will be doing a trip to La Paz this summer with Jay Murakoshi. I have a 10 weight and hope to borrow or buy a 12 weight too. What size and type of backing do you recommend for this type of fishing? And how much do you put on? If a fish breaks me off, I'd prefer him to break off at the tippet, not at the backing!! it is my hope to have info before this weekend's ISE in Sacramento so I may look for "deals".
for those of you who have been there before, what line do you recommend? floating vs. intermediate vs. (which) sink tip or sinking line? I have a float and 625 grain 10 weight line now, but will load it after I hear about the backing. (I was debating about PowerPro braid, but am afraid one fish run will cause the line to cut me.)
Hopefully our group will meet with Jay for more pointed questions and advice too (or maybe he'll see this too).
thanks in advance.
p.s. anyone willing to rent out a 12 weight rod for a poor slob who is tight on money?
