Trolling with ??? pound test

[MikeVJ]

Hey all,

I'm going to run planer boards for the first time this year. I'm about to spool two new trolling reels and I was wondering what you all recommend. I was thinking about buying 50 lb pink Ande (mono).

Is that too much? Not enough?
Does anyone troll with braid?

I have already picked up a dozen scotty clips but was also considering using shower curtain rings & rubber bands. I don't think the clips will hold braid very well (hence the idea to buy more mono). But then again, braid might cut right through the rubber bands and ensure a good release (knock down) on a solid bite.

I appreciate any advice. So, what trolling setup do you use?

Thanks,

Mike
