I never touch the reel line when i use it as a upline. I just use it as a visual reference to aid me keeping a constant depth. If you want to hang on the line the 30 pound is enough to but i personally think that is proof of bad diving skill (i do not imply that you have bad skill) >> Try tying a 30lb bag to a wreck with 1/8 inch line in a good stiff current, then send it up 150' or so and see how well it floats. With yours, the lines, and the bags combined surface area for the current to work on, you should find it somewhere below the surface. Most people diving in the area Art is referring to, which has potential for strong currents, swear by 150lb to 200lb, stable enough to hang on. I really like the new sealed Halcyon bag, hope they make some larger capacities. Kevin -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
