I like a 6 ot 6 1/2 foot medium action glass rod and use monofilament because of the sretch. I want them to eat the bait before I pull it away from them and the glass rod and mono help in this.

A good solution is to use both braid and mono. Use braid with a 16" mono leader. You get the action and castability with the braid and then that little bit of stretch to keep from rippin the bait out with the mono. .

I use a 6 1/2 foot soft tip rod, medium action, they tend to load up well on the soft tip. I don't use that Donkey string like some guys, I don't see the point. Usually 12lb low vis green mono. The stretch will help you keep from ripping the bait free.

Never thought of that, but it seems it would work. What knot do you use to attach the braid to the mono? Would a surgeons knot work?
