. Personally I wouldn't have a sinker running on braid if targeting big fish. My choice would be 37kg braid to swivel, swivel to mono ( a little lighter than the braid and trace because you dont want a fish towing around a sinker for a death sentence) & swivel between heavy mono (1metre or so) and 80 to 120lb trace. Have the sinker between the two swivels and cushion it with a soft bead either side. Alternatively fish it on the surface doing away with the sinker. Any one else feel free to offer your advice.
