Braided Fishing Line

Got this from an in-fisherman article a while back and it has worked for me. When fishing braid add a 8-10 ft leader of mono (not fluoro) for the invisibility factor as well as a shock absorber. This has worked for me. Also, I grew up fishing spinning rods with small cranks with trebles for smallies. With that set up, you don't hit 'em with a hard hook set. I think that has help me with the braid fishing as well.

I agree with you I use a fluoro leader too on hook set I just use a sweeping hook set and just load the rod works good for me.

Good fishing

I like 50lb braid for my flippin stick. Seems like you can horse them in and with the big hook on a jig you won't tear out. Thump. Get the net!!!
