I will be making my 1st trip to Christmas Island the beginning of next May.
I have collected most of the gear that I think that I will need for Giant Trevally.
A Sage Xi2, 1290-4, 12 weight lines in both floating and intermediate plus spares, and plenty of Trevally poppers.
The part that I?m not sure of is the leaders. Not much is written about them. What length ?? Do you use a big game leader with a 20 Lb class section and then a shock tippet or just a straight tapered leader ???
In either case what is the recommended Lb test of the shock tippet or leader point ????
Hope someone with experience in this game will give me some pointers.
Thanks,
DickM.
