One evening while sitting around, the great old wise fisherman that my buddy and I fish with posed a question to ponder to us two young lads that I have been unable to answer or prove on my own. The question is as follows:

Know how when reels get worn out and they start to creak or grind, or become a little sloppy, well, does that noise or vibration in someway get transfered down the line for the fish to sense? Is it at all increased with braided lines versus mono? Does it have no effect at all?

I have wondered this but I know another fisherman who's reel creeks so loud you can hear it down the beach when he is eeling, but he is still a reel good fisherman and catches lots of big fish, so perhaps it doesn't matter?

What do ya'll think?
