I tried braid for slinging eels for the first time . . .
. . . and wow, the sensitivity was definitely there, just like it is for all the bottom fishing I do in 20-240' of water for the Cod/Haddock, Fluke, Scup, Seabass, Blues, Stripers.
Definitely no stretch and I could definitely feel more with the braid than with the 12lb mono on the other rod that I was switching back and forth with. Lucky in that the fish were thick Saturday night and I could do back to back tries with keepers on the other end.
I had 12lb diameter/50lb line and will probably want to go with 8lb diameter in whatever corresponding break-test strength that is which must be at least 30lb, which to me, is like cheating. I guess I've liked the challenge of boating 10-30lb fish with 12lb test, but really do like the sensitivity of the braid for sure.
Any suggestions for a braid that I can get at, gulp, Wal-Mart?
