Highest I use is 15# maxima and I have no problem with the cheapie releases that you can get at Narrows Marina. Hey by the way conversly for 17 mature kings kept with 6 over 20#'s I haven't caught one deeper than 62 feet yet this year. Combine that with the fact I don't even think about hooking the boat up in the evening till 6:30. In the morning I am home eating breakfast with the wife by 8:00. I am not saying you will not catch fish between the times but when the sun is up I don't do Kings.
