Line Help

[Ridi620]

I haven't been fishing for very long but as long as I have been fishing., I've been using braid. I just have so much confidence in it and have done good. However, I want to rig up my new set up, when I get it, with a different type of line. Can you make any suggestions on what I should go with? I'm hoping mono or fluoro might end up catching me more fish due to visibility. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Am I going about this wrong? Should I stay with braid? Its a tough decision. I definitely want confidence when fishing and not to be nervous if I hook up with a hog.

I use FC a lot when the water is clear and not heavy with vegetation. But it can be more difficult to manage on spinning reels.

I will be using it on a baitcaster. but for the most part, you stick with braid? I've heard so many mixed answers. Some people strictly use braid, some switch on and off depending on water clarity. Just trying to see if I should switch up what I'm doing.

Also, although having confidence with your equipment is always good, it is important to learn new techniques and become confident using different types of lures.

New rod and reel? Load on some fluoro and give it a try.
