A trailer boat fisherman wanting to try game fishing for the first time doesn’t need to spend as much money to have a go. A game fisherman who would normally run 50W reels could save money by buying 30W reels instead.

Another benefit is the amount of braid that can be spooled onto a game fishing reel: you can fit two or three times more line compared to mono, which means several benefits for the angler. The section of line that is wound most often through the guides is usually the first 100m or so, which means the mono section can be easily and economically replaced. Mono degrades in sunlight while braided line by comparison doesn’t effectively degrade at all. The benefits of top shotting are numerous. It’s a very popular method with North American tuna fishermen although other game fishermen also use it, with equal effectiveness and there are applications for inshore fishermen, although so far it hasn’t become a widespread practice, despite its benefits. Top Shotting refers to the practice of using a combination of braid and mono when spooling up a reel for game fishing.
