As a companion to the mono thread.....someone asked me last week what I felt was the single most important tackle improvement in my angling lifetime. I responded, "Braided line, unquestionably." I say this because its (braid) the one item that's allowed me to reach places such as far off structure, deep water etc.. and has helped me catch more fish in many situations. I cannot say this for any other piece of fishing tackle I own, and much of it is so called "high performance." This includes reels,rods, hooks, plugs, you name it. None of the aformentioned things besides braided line have provided much more than marginal benefits over what I fished with 20 years ago.

Lets's hear some takes on this subject...What has REALLY improved the last 20 or so years?

	It's not the bait At the end of your line It's the fishing hole Where all the fish is blind
