    Re: Braided line & topwater???

    I use fireline on my creek rod and throw a lot of topwater stuff. No problems at all. Given the thinner diameter, you'll get longer distance casts. You do have to watch setting the hook too soon. I also use fireline on a couple of surf rods. Have used plenty of topwater plugs on them fishing for stripers in the surf and in tailwater areas.

    I have used fireline for stripes in the tailwaters, both on top and deep and found it works well do to the small diameter and strength. Long cast are a must.
