Super User roadwarrior Posted January 27, 2010 Super User Posted January 27, 2010 While magnetic braking features on baitcasting reels do help prevent backlashes... The magnetic braking system is an issue for many of us. I have been fishing baitcasters for more than a few years. My STX has been a challenge. You might try to borrow someone's reel that has a centrifugal braking system. Spool it with inexpensive XT #17 and see what you think. 8-) Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted January 27, 2010 Super User Posted January 27, 2010 Hmmmm, 1000's of people use braid w/o guide problems...usually it's cheap guides that happens. Throw that braid out,it wears groves in your eyelets of your rod,Ill never use braid again now i know that!!!!! Quote

Super User Hammer 4 Posted January 27, 2010 Super User Posted January 27, 2010 Kinda gettin OT with the subject of braking..but I'll add this...I have a 2 yr pld BPS Extrem, I find that the magnetic brakes Need to be set according to lure weight, and the spool tension adjusted accordinly. The brakes have to be set at 8..anything less and I get overruns. OTH..I have a Chronacrh with centrical brakes which I like a lot better. I started with 2 brakes out of 6 on, after about 2 weeks, I disengaged all the brakes, so now I have none..I use 55# braid on this reel, and have very few overruns. Maybe 1 every 10 outings. Obviously the Chronarch is a higher quality reel, but the braking imho make a big difference in that you have way more control over the braking. In the end, your Thumb is the main control.. Quote
Bayou Bass Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Been using braid for years now and have never noticed as much as a nic in any of my guides as a result of the line. I use 15lb-50lb and they all cast fine. I just have to change the settings and I am good to go. Quote
Thai Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Throw that braid out,it wears groves in your eyelets of your rod,Ill never use braid again now i know that!!!!! More like throw that rod out! ;D Quality guides will not get damaged from braid What what did you have that had issues with the braid if you dont mind me asking? Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 28, 2010 Super User Posted January 28, 2010 Throw that braid out,it wears groves in your eyelets of your rod,Ill never use braid again now i know that!!!!! When 'kevlar' line first hit the street, it did in fact groove the rod guides unless the rings were made of silicon nitride or silicon carbide. Although kevlar triggered a stigma, polyethylene braid is a different animal. I use nothing but PE braid, and I've only seen guide-grooving once, and it was the tiptop guide of an $80 Bionic Blade with non-fuji aluminum oxide inserts. Roger Quote

Roger Thank you roger I guess when i made that post should have said they wear 40$ wal-mart rods that the beginer and average fisherman buy,and for people who dont have 100$-300$ to drop on a st.croix.

Super User roadwarrior Posted January 28, 2010 Super User Posted January 28, 2010 Geez... Roger is such an elitist. Maybe this is a better guideline: If the braid costs more then the rod, DO NOT spool it on your reel! : Quote
