Braid line question

[LMBC_WeighMaster]

I use braid on all of my spinning tackle and on one of my baitcasting rigs. I always use a cheap mono as backing. Saves money, helps in sever backlash situations, and provides some shock absorption for the less forgiving braid.

Good luck.

The more I use braid the more I like it, I use cheap mono for backing and preventing slippage just like the others. I use 40lb on baitcasters, 20lb on spinning gear. Braid will laster longer and is more sensitive than fluoro. I've heard fluoro is more senstive on slack line, but I just keep a little bow in the line and can feel everything. The only advantage of fluoro, IMO, is visibility of the line in the water, but I think that might be overrated. I seem to get as many hits on straight braid as I do with leaders but I am going to test that more this spring. Good luck...
