I fished beaver Lake on 5/01 and I was using 14 lb Berkley Vanish on my spinnerbait. I had some trouble with break offs. Once when making a CAST --believe it or not--the spinnerbait just went flying off into the grass. And once, after a backlash, I was pulling out line and I found the line broken inside the spool. I was fishing around the thick grass and I'm sure the friction from the line and the grass caused the problem. I probably should have retied more often but I had no problems with the 10 lb Stren i was using for my rat-L-trap around the same grass. Just wondering what you guys thought of Berkley Vanish? I'm thinking of switching to braided line for fishing spinnerbaits, flukes, jigs, etc around grass but I have always had trouble with casting braided line in the past. I got more backlashes than with mono and getting out a backlash with braided line I found alot harder. Any suggestions on a castable braided line?
Thanks,
John
