I'm curious what line strength youall use when jigging for pompano? Ive got my rods loaded with 16lb Sakuma nite crystal.

I'd go with that or a bit lighter... 14# or 12#.

I'm sure some folks would go even lower, especially if you're using the lightest of pomp jigs.

Oh, I suppose I should add more...

I strongly prefer light braid (10 or 15), with a 20# floro leader.

Keep in mind that 16 lb Sakuma has the same diameter as 11 lb Ande.Its famous as a distance casting line in the UK and its becoming popular in coastal NC.
