I have used a double 50lb one tied to the mono mainline when fishing areas like Castlepoint where you have to lift the fish up a rock face where it might touch the rock and ping, it's gone. Does make it a bit harder to cast.
You could have the line hung in big loops on the front of the cannon to it lifts it of the hanger as it leaves

Sitting on the reef, watching the sharks and catching gurnard, sound like a previous life I had with a brother-in-law, many years ago. Or surfing in front of the store or the lagoon with the waves coming over the gap and getting the mini bellied in the soft sand.

I have always caught a fish when I've gone there, but it's almost 2.5hrs each way so makes for a big day.
Was impressed by the length of the drawbars on the commercial boats parked on the sand.

I was a bit younger when I frequented Castlepoint. Last time there, I did the plans for a single man’s quarters for Peter Laing of Castlepoint Station, so 30 odd years ago. My brother, he died last year, had a batch up on the hill over looking the bay. Problem with Castlepoint are the frequent 100 mph winds. It blown batches off their foundations. Still better than Riversdale.
