pluggin/ braid
I want to go braid this year so...
What advantages does braid have over mono when pluggin'?
Ok it's:
thinner
stronger
more senstive
no stretch.
Currently I'd be using 20lb AN-40 w/ the diameter of 15lb.
Thinner/stonger-I'd probably go with 30lb and still be thinner that the mono and thus would cast better etc.- fine braid wins.
sensitive-How much sensitiviy do I need when I'm ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&' a swimmer?
no stretch- ok better hooksets, but I'm not throwin' bait. I think the mono can do fine gettin' the exposed hook of a plug set. Moreover can the braid be a hinderance, with pulled hooks? Wouldn't the lack of stretch keep a bass from gettin' the bait as well as w/ mono?
Seems to me that other than casting distance, mono still rules for plugs. As far as strength, I wouldn't even be able utilize it as my rod tops at 20lb.
After the cast the mono would allow the lure to be taken better instead of it taken away.
the stretch would absorb shock and keep bass buttoned.
And its so much cheaper, fine braid lasts longer in the long run, but in the event of a break off the braid is way more costly.
Thanx for the help.
