stop snapping those casts and you won't get the mark

as far as braids go, i haven't had any problems with chunking/swimmers/jigging

but poppers tend to throw atleast a few loops into your line if you're not careful with keeping tension on (i bring a pole with mono on it for popping and just to have a spare pole)

although my main (9 foot one peice custom (built myself), fin nor ahab 20a with 24lb spiderwire fusion) is an absolutely wonderful rod that i could never part with...

have yet to have the line fray in 6mo's of use now...

maybe i'll try it out on the boat rods... it'd be nice to not worry about burning to the bottom of a spool on REALLY big fish...

anyone know what the max test the braids come in is?
