Not casting all day, and most shots are 30-50ft. I'm just looking for a line that cast's nicely. I've gone through ~5 budget lines (Rio mainstream, SA frequency, Maxcatch, etc.) and I just want to get something a bit smoother. Not opposed to textured lines. Throwing seaducers, clousers, crab...

Any fishing-related goals or plans for 2024? New species, new personal best, new destination, new technique? Maybe you already have something scheduled that you're looking forward to? My goal is a flood tide redfish out of my own boat. Bought the boat mid-summer, wrenched on it for a few...
