    Used it for a while now, no tangles and no crack offs mate. Maybe I just got a good batch!

    Don't remember the last time I cracked off with the mono leader mate. Bad batch of leader line?

    Yes it will be fine with braid but with a mono leader you will crack off lots. I have been there and done that. Its never an issue since i started using a braid leader.

    I have a mono leader mate, 80lb and I have no issues at all. In fact I find it helps to cushion the cast. With a braid leader I was bouncing my snoods out of bait clips as there is no stretch but the mono has helped quite a bit. There are pros and cons to both.

    dont use mono m8 as it is slower coming off the reel than braid and will cause no end of bother, i use 100lb braid leader on mine.

    started a topic Penn spinfisher 7500

    Penn spinfisher 7500

    Just bought my first fixed spool reel and some 50lb spider wire braid , just wondering how much backing do I apply before spooling 300 yards of braid on the normal spool not the long cast . Cheers .
Working...
