17 lb test and a top water plug. Saves wading in the pond or throwing rocks trying to get them to float to the down wind side of the pond.

My lab, while still a young pup familiar only with Dokken ducks, officially learned to retrieve with a dead Canada goose, a bass rod, and a Hula Popper. He was swimming circles around the dead goose looking for something else. Once I snagged it and began pulling it to shore, he quickly came to understand his role in this world. That was a memorable hunt.
