pluggin/ braid

[nightfighter]

I went to Power Pro last year and love it. Was using Yozuri Hybrid 20 before that. I will use lighter mono for schoolies early, then back to PP 50. I found the PP 30 to be too light to throw and had too many wind knots and breakoffs. Just my experience. Also use barrel to Seaguar 25, 39. or 40 lb leader.

It is tough to go back after you have cast with braid. Smooth.......

Casting is a big plus as noted. i also ind braids are tougher. They are very much more sensitive which does help depending on how much line yu have out and the conditions.

Hooksets are a big plus but be careful you can also rip the lips off if not careful. You still should always use a mono or flouro leader when using braids.

agree with everything said, let me add that working different depth levels is MUCH better as well. Work a storm or jig just off the bottom is much more do-able in a strong current or wind with briad. I know for a fact that it was because of the briaded line I could put my lure in a spot where mono guys couldn't

Casting Big plugs + 30# PP is a recipe for a fingertip wound you will soon not forget. you need something on you finger. (I use waterproof medical tape) but there are a half doz options....don't forget it though or you will feel some real pain. The other neg is you need to put it on the right reel. Don't fill an old 706 with braid, you will be sorry. Get a reel designed for casting braid.


Braid on a conv is also a perfect match.

The best thing though is the SCREACHING sound it makes as it rips thru the guides....I love that!
