    Re: Distance-braid vs mono

    I have been using fireline ever since it was introduced and love it. I have 50# power pro on my big catfish reels but for the rest it is fire line 14Lbs works for me and i have one 7" flipping stick with 20 on it..

    I allways buy the 120 yard spools and use mono for a filler use big mono though like 30 pound test the reason is line wieght it takes alot less 30# to fill a spool then it does 10# this will give you more distance casting if you use the 1500" spools then all you need is about 10 yards of 10 pound test to keep it from slipping on your spool..
    PS
    I never use a mono leader.
    Almost forgot if it does start fuzing up and turning gray just do like i do and use a red sharpie and repiant it it will also seal the line and before some say's it has a smell ( the smell goes away when dry) to it dont use it all i can say is smell one of those plastic worms you use and tell me how much it smells like a night crawler or minnow..
