I rocker.
can see where braid will have its advantages on certain marks.
i found when I had a cod on which was battling back to the kelp i tended not to rive as much. coz when i did i lost it.
its logical for people to advise a softer rod or set the drag, but by doing that the fish has ledged itself under a bolder, and thats it. 'fish lost'
only a opinion, just not for me
coz some match lads i know do well with it
