Spanish can't really comment
Spanish can't really comment on the tide it was the first time we had even attempted that depth.... So didn't really know what to expect. Was fun though except the winding up to check your bait!! The Furuno was brilliant...Once we worked the right settings! but once the setting were ajusted we were getting arches in 350 odd meters!

Go the daiwa saltiga boat braid, varivas is way too princess for deep drop.
