Ok well it looks like switching my mono to braid is a definite. i would like to know what braid i should go with, the stuff is expensive and i dont wanna by the wrong braid. so what would be best for my type of fishing (writtin in the starting thread). i would think that i should also go with the circle hooks except i am very skeptical about them. i have read stories of people losing big fish because the circle hook didnt penetrate into the fishes mouth. if someone wouldnt mind explainging the process of getting the hook in the fishes mouth instead of slipping out i would probably switch to circles. I have a feeling that it is gunna take some practice, maybe i'm wrong and it will be easy but with my luck prolly wont

. one more thing, if i use the circle hook with a chunk bait, wont the bait cover up the curve of the hook point and wont that end up meaning the bait stays on the hook in the fishes mouth and that i wont get a hook up at all because the bait will come right out? As you can all see i am very skeptical about the circle hooks because my whole life i have been using regular shank hooks.
thanks alot
Anthony
