Marty..the 10# braid makes a huge difference...your line will get down faster to the strike zone and it has way better feel...when you are drifting on a pod of fish and you mark them..it will get you down fast...It can handle any fish in the bay...including a 50# drum...which is like pulling in an anchor..
I have caught 50# Rock on the 10#..
Once you've caught a few quality fish on it, you will laugh at trolling...
