I have been using braided lines since 1996 and when I first started my first applications with braid was 4-5 ounce bucktails with 30lb spiderwire. Now the problem was wading out, taking on waves, and having you're fingers wet. What happened was I started to tear the hell out of my fingers once they got soft. I had tried tape, finger guards, and crazy glue. Nothing really worked, I had to be in feel with the line. I went up to heavier lines without loosing much distance and haven't had that problem in years. Then agian its not everyday I throw heavy jigs. I have never torn my fingers up pluggin' or eelin' just in the situation described. I primarily use 65lb Whiplash on my spinning outfits and 80lb Whiplash on my conventional outfits....

good Luck
