Tony;
I'm trying Backcountry to start the season on my 250...
I'm a line-change whore... I have tried a ton in the past few years...
Ande Pink 20... still my fav
Yozuri Hybrid; hated it
Hi seas- loved it on my squidder too stiff for spinning
Surffix Seige was pretty good
big-game is good as well...

Basically they have good and bad....
Hell I threw straight 50lb dacron on a squidder for a while...

Distance wasnt an issue at that spot... why pay the $$ for braid...

Hybrid seemed stiff to me, but that was when it first came out maybe I should me the change back and try it if the ironman says so

everything above for mono was 20...

My fav for distance and sand was 30lb AN-40.... sucked in the rocks though!

He's either saying:

A) Bryan likes to go the distance in the sand, but only sucks in the rocks

Or...

B) That he finds Silver Thread AN40 fishing line in 30 pound test good for castability but low on abrasion resistance.

You coming up this spring?

The old AN-40 with the grey label was what I had... bought 3000yd spool in the late 90's lasted till 04... ~2 300yard changes/year....
wasnt tough line but it was castable and I liked it....

I cant imagine having to go back to using mono at this point and losing the distance, sensitivity and hookset power of braid. For 99% of the types of fishing I do, theres nothing that could be gained from mono, that couldnt be compensated for when using braid

The Iron man says he likes the abrasion resistance of the Hybrid.Do u think he has alterior motives like a endorsment deal.I think perhaps he does And good for him.how can i get some.but in the areas he fishes. I think in some cases mono is a better bet.U need stretch when u cannot afford to pay out any line.I rarely have windknot problems but when i thro needles an work em slo the line just lays on too soft.when u lay into a cast with a 2 once or better needle the line digs in a poof.Un doing the mess is Not really how I wanted to spend my night fishing.i know there are ways around this like holding the line an the rod in ur hand i have done it.not really comfortable fishing like that.
