I wet pack everything, 5 gallon bucket, a little water and a home made jig.. that being said, with the exception of deep jigging , I hate braid, too many problems, and much time wasted screwing around with it,I had a guy fishing with me Thursday night, after his third wind knot i exponded on my hatred for braid and how many fish I've seen lost because of it, his reply, like most that are enamored with it. Was that he never has a problem with it, well less than 10 minutes
later he hooked a fish of a life time, the line parted abruptly when the fish hit the mussel shoal,as it dropped into the channel the way that fish was running, it ought to be in New York bye now.. this stubborn old coot will keep his monofilament, it might chafe and shred, but it doesn't part on contact.
