GrifGod Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I'm thinking about switching all of my reels to straight braid. Spinning reels between 15-20 lb power pro slick braid and baitcasters between 30-50 lb power pro slick braid. I fish all types of water and structure, clear, dense cover, sparse cover, murky, deep, shallow, you name it I fish it. Just want an opinion on whether I should completely switch over to braid, as well as if I should use fluoro/mono leaders, depending on the technique that I am using. I mainly throw dropshots, crankbaits, buzzbaits, frogs, jerkbaits, basically everything in the book. Any info/personal experience would be much appreciated! Thanks guys. Quote
cyclops2 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 NEVER FULLY switch to something you have no long term experience with. Do it 1 at a time.. Quote
GrifGod Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 I used a rod this year mainly for buzzbait fishing, with 50 lb braid. That thing kicked ass. But that's topwater, and i'm hesitant to use braid on subsurface baits. Quote
