I'm not a stren fan either. I was fishing with 30# Trilene big game in green.
Brian, do you fish Casitas much? I'd like to talk to ya(robertolling@msn.com) I'm working all next week but after that I think I'm comming down with a cold the next day we get weather. I did get one follower on the back west side of the island but the fish was only about 5-6lbs. I was thinking the same thing about maybe not getting the fish with the slammer. The fish was in the shade and silt. Reguadless I'm ordering some of those Gami trebel hooks, I even saw that cabelas had them in the black hooks as well as bronze.
