I thought it to have a length of near invisible line next to the lure.

ffj my mistake i took it for granted that everyone uses 2ft mono when spining it does not matter what size line you use for spinning its the attractor that is the main thing the fish is chasing ;)

my rig for spinning is 2ft mono with a 20lb swivel which this is tied to my braid at the rod end and at the lure end is a 20lb swivel quick locking clip so i can change lures very easy ;)
do you need a scaffold i can supply and erect tube and fitting/mobile fixed pasma scaffolds

Which do you use bren?

I've had some real carp ones which snap/rust/break after unlocking after several sessions and some are a real pain to clip onto chug bugs.

cabela's cross lock ;)

the ones i think is the best is the cabela's premium coast ball-bearing snap swivel but hard to find in this country i use to get my uncle to post them to me from Canada because he only ever fished with lures over there and when i went fishing with him some years ago now it was so easy for walleye/large mouth :D

the tackle in the USA is far superior than ours

Anything but clear line will in clear water. I think this is why most people use a length of flurocarbon.

Probably repeating 30 other posts.

But to add to the weight of opinion...

Rough ground use 30lb straight through. It will drive you nuts retying shockleaders. I use red ice and wouldnt bother looking at anything else as its does the job admirably.

Definately dont use braid. it will cost you a fortune.
Make a difference - take home 1 piece of someone's angling litter next time you are out fishing.

I use 50lb fireline crystal (white braid) on my fixed spool reel ( Surf Master 850) straight through and have never had a problem. It does pull out of snags very well but have now changed to multipliers now
