Hi guys, There is a few posts about this already but I'm a planning a trip to swains in July next year. Just wondering if anyone can share there experience. Looking at the mv night crossing. Anyone been on this boat. Also abit gear advice. Going to buy a good spin combo and already got a good overhead. The boat recommended and alvey combo for the deep water. They also stated braid is overrated and over priced. Would it really assist the hook up rate? Anyways any advice of comments would be grateful. Cheers
