I use 50#PP mainline down from 65#. And a 40-50 # leader. I use a lighter mono leader beacuse sometimes I WANT to break it off, the Canal for example. Zip Problems.
I had a spool of 20#PP that I lost 3 plugs in 3 casts. I gave that one to my moron boss.oke: Something was definately wrong with that one.
I do have to say it took me a while to learn how to set the hook with braid. When I first started using it, I was giving it the mighty yank like mono. Well with mono you have considerable stretch to take up before the hook bites. With braid it's the flick of the wrist.
Last year I tried to go back to mono, missed a lot of hookups. I'm abraid guy now...
