I think it's like $15 for 300 yards, and you really don't need much more than 50 yards, although I probably have close to 75 on each. That Magibraid is awesome. Haven't changed it in years and it's still in fantastic shape. I also use the chartreuse becasue i see which way the line is going under the hole better. I can guarantee you the color makes no difference to the fish. I catch just as much, if not more, than my buddies with black or green line. Depending on what I'm targeting, I use anywhere from 15 to 40-pound fluoro leader.
And btw, I slip a button on the Dacron to keep track of my depth (a whole different story), then I slip a small egg sinker on the Dacron to bring the bait down, then a small barrel swivel then my leader and hook.
This is the stuff....

Thanks dude...great info.! I'm familiar with the button. Dale brought me up to speed with that being as all of his tip ups have a button on the line for depth setting purposes.
