Braid Size For Spinning Reels

[The Next KVD]

I normally use 10lb braid for everything except for my spinning rods I use for dock skipping.   Than I put on 30lb braid.

Please explain why you use thick mono as the standard by which you choose braid? One of the advantages of braid is how thin it is. Why take that away? I use nothing higher than 10 pound test braid on all my spinning gear. The rod gives me the shock absorption I need. It has plenty of strength, casts farther, and lets lures run deeper than thicker lines.

I agree

In over 12 years with 8 & 10#PP never once have I cut myself with it  I guess it would be operator error if you do.

Ive also used it for frog fishing on slop/mats it has plenty of strength for its size.

I have 30 suffix 832 and #10 on two spools for my stradic, i like the 10 better. 20 is my favorite

I use #40 Braid on my inshore spinning reel size 30. I also use braid for crankbait fishing around rocks, never have to worry about losing a $20 lure.

I use fins 40g 5lb on all my spinning rods...

I use 10-30 pound braid on some of my spinning reels, depending on what technique I am using and where I am fishing. Shimano and Penn are the spinning reels I tend to use most since they are reliable and have a proven history.
