Mono and braid for plugs
Remembrances of things past....
Bought a ton o` braid....when fishing with swimmers from Redfins to customs at night I discovered that I was foul hooking many bass.
Switched to reels with mono from 14 to 25 lb test and hardly any foul hooked.
With the immediate response/ no stretch of most braids I think the bass often do a bump of the lure of some sort and were hooking themselves in doing so. With mono having some play I think they could bump then pickup without getting foul hooked. VMCs or other sharp hooks were part of the factor but not determining.
Any thoughts?
