If you are using braid traces as well Grinny, I would try changing those to mono and make them long ( maybe 1.5m) since it maybe the thick Braid on the mainline that is scarring the fish away ?
Welcome to the forum by the way

Yeah was thinking a braid back bone at full stretch would be like juggling a knife ..very unpleasant ..would go full mono , and look at bait selection ..if you are getting Kahawai as by catch , scale and fillet of one for bait..and bleed a couple for the smoker..any way hope @Grinny comes back and gives us some feed back ...Welcome @Grinny hope we can help
