I love braid for plugging. In fact I've come to use it for most everything except for bait fishing off the beaches (damned backlashes on my conventional).

I use 80 lb test for live-lining around rocky areas to avoid cut offs (from my boat)....but be careful it can cut right through your fingers. I actually use a leader of only 30 lb test to make sure I can break off if I get a fish pot or get trapped in a rock.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
