[cod head]

Never used braid from the shore before but when using mono i prefer to go for around 18lb line. Braids usualy got a smaller diameter so youde b able to get away with heavey if you wanted.

yeah same here ive never used braid like, I use 15lb mono and that can take hard casts so just curious about how light people dare go with braid

10lb braid m8 will be like cotton , tying knots will be a nightmare tbh .

I have 30lb braid loaded on my spinning reels and it casts a dream, much much better than a 10-12lb mono.... as mentioned, the smalled diameter means you can fish much heavier with the braid with no issues...

I just switched to the same diameter braid 0.35 ± 50 lb. Much better bite detection no shock leader needed. Got mine from Hong Kong £19 delivered for 1000 m , SPECTRA. Excellent.
