Braid has it's place and flipping and frogging, is where it shines, and topwater, I also use it when shallow crankin", jyou just have to let them have the lure before you hit them. Also I saw where some of you had trouble with braid breakin setting the hook while flipping. One thing about braid that I have learned and the hard way is that you must use a palomar knot or similar, to keep this from breaking at he lure eye. I use braid and floro/floroclear, it depends on the situation. Tight lines on those muskey's, also Barren River, has some good muskie holes on it, they school up below the dam there in Jan and Feb, and we have seen some hawgs and had one bust a small POP-R 1/4 oz while we we floating down it a couple of years ago,ultralite and muskies dont match, yes he busted it and at the boat, looked like jaws coming up, would just loved to have fought her a little, 6 lb line snap, but she spit the plug back when she jumped again. She was huge well over 40in long, we were in a 10ft john and when she swam by she was almost have it length.
