I have lost countless big fish to the braid getting cut on rocks. I'm now all mono on my boat.
Amen to that! Last night I spent more time messing with the braid than fishing,,, these old eyes just can't work with that stuff at night and not much better with the sun up...

I haven't used floats for the bait in years but when we did we used those huge bobbers ,, kept the macs out of the rockst
