I use 200# Fast Flight Bowfishing line on a Abu Garcia bait caster. It only holds about 40-45yds of line but I'll break the rod before the line will break. It doesn't stretch.
Power Pro 250 works good also.
How does it cast. We use the heavy braid or mono and let the gator pull the boat and use the trolling motor as well. The break we had the other morning was most likely because of old line or a poorly set drag. If we have one get loose it is usually because the hook works loose instead of the line breaking.
I may try a heavier line if we get a tag next year but we only had the one this year.

It casts smooth and accurate. I can empty the spool on a cast no problem.
I have got a couple nice ones out that same spot. It is a good spot. Congrats on a nice lizard.
Be still and get your gun!!!!
We usually try and get a bow shot on anything that is on the surface. Have a guy standing at the ready with a rod and reel in case it goes under before we get in range. I like the idea of the bow fishing line spooled up. I'll have to give it a try this weekend. Prob do a little more day hunting since the weather has cooled down. Congrats again on a nice lizard!
