First, thanks to everyone on the forum for creating such an invaluable resource for new fisherman.
I recent bought a nice Dobyns Champion 734C and a Lew's BB1. It is my most expensive set up and I wanted to use braid (50# power pro) as the main line. I've never used braid before and during my first trip I felt like the braid was doing some serious damage to the eyes on the rod and the line guide on the reel. I also backlashed once and oh boy was it tough to untangle. I just don't want my 300+ dollar set up to be destroyed by a line! Are my concerns valid or am I just over thinking it? Thanks for the help!
Also any tips for braid would be much appreciated.
-Tim
