George,
Thanks for the suggestions,the problem so far has been the teeth, the fish swims back and forth across your field of view and with each turn the line crosses the teeth, then they jump. Wire is the way to go, but I like to fish the surface. I am using PowerPro 10# now with a long shank hook, by watching the bait and setting as early as possible the fish only gets the shank to chew on. When caught they snap their jaws shut on the steel, keeps you on your toes.
