braid or mono

[kingcod2007]

whats your thoughts on using braid or mono.braid for me gives better bite detection as it doesnt stretch but is a sucker for getting out of snags.

Braid every day of the week, just dont wrap it around a bit of wood to snap it off or risk it snapping at the tip eye and losing laods.

Only bad braid i have ever used is spider line and would not wish that stuff on anyone, 2 trips and in the bin. I use fire line original and power pro depth hunter, loads of cheaper lines just as good thou.

Got to be braid. You can feel everything what's going on at the other end, and can anticipate a snag a lot quicker, unlike the dull feel you get through nylon.
I don't really have a problem breaking out of a fast hold as I mostly fish with 30th braid fishing mainly coastal waters.

Ive had a couple of trips out with the braid now and to be honest I dont see a huge difference.

Dont get me wrong, it does feel better and I would recommend it. I bought the Chinese ebay stuff, was only £3.50ish with delivery - 300m

Alight lads. I've just bought me first boat reel and filled it with 40lb braid. Should I put a leader on? And what knot is best for tying a link on.

Cheers

 

[canman]

No, don't bother with a mono leader, just tie on a quick release swivel, and use nylon for the end tackle.

 

[Nooo Fish]

Cheers mate. Out on the blueye 2 tomorrow night. See how I get on.

I use spider wire on my fixed spool and I've had no problems, read about a few people thinking it's garbage.

I use spectra braid on the boat, 50lb. Been spot on the times I've been out. If you get a snag just get a glove and hold onto the braid and the drift will pull it out. It'll snap your daylites or whatever, well it does with me
