The first hundred yards or so will be looser from use, but , you won't have to dig deep in the spool just to find the loop that's causing the trouble. If you are leveling it yourself, cross it up more than you would mono, for the same reason.
That makes sense to me ,, keeping the base hard under the fluff that naturally occurs from working different plugs .. that and more crossing pattern on the spool Nib also mentioned.. Been kinda waiting until I got more knowledge before putting braid on Conventional again .. maybe I'll give it one more shot .. Thanks
