Can you say braid? Braid and more braid? I was converted several years ago and I have converted a few since to the braid. Zero stretch=more sensitivity. I break off alot less and feel more strikes in the thick stuff. I just wish I could find a flourescent braid (Like Berkley Ultramax) to fish at night. Berkley no longer makes the Ultramax. Try it, you'll like it. Fished it for years using Gloomis rods and had no problems with eyes wearing out.
