Nice handy work! I too like to use as much DIY stuff as possible on my boat! I will say though, the most important piece of fishing gear you can invest in that will help you catch more fish due to lighter line is a quality reel! Smooth drag is key! I have landed 40lb halibut in the ocean on 6lb mono while everyone else is getting skunked because they insist they need 20lb+ line. Same is true fro trout! You will catch a lot more trout on 4-6 lb test with a good reel than 10-12 lb on a cheapo!
