Monofilament line=Dinosaur tackle?

Go to the sufix web site for a 10.00 off coupon for a 300 yd spool of braid. Ends up costing me $22 for a 300 yd 50# spool. Plus a lot my relatives buy spools.

My personal braid alternative? (that's been working great for me for many years now...)


FOR those rocky/ craggy spots that make you scared to throw your Habs & BMs (yet you know that's where the biggest Bass prowl? )


VS300 w/ 25 lb. mono. (I choose a 10' Arra, but most go 11') (Big Game for me...)



As DZ said... distance matters little in most spots at night (yes always certain exceptions notably the Ditch or big inlets)...

When I want (daytime) distance, I'll break out the "lighter" VS250 w/ 20 or 17 lb. mono., & metals or heavy Needles or Johns' (rip) N. & Gales!

[LeCounts1099]

Of course... the point to be clear is a Spinner with enough mono. holding capacity (& cranking power) to comfortably fish 25 lb. test mono...


The expense of a VS for this not necessary (just a ref. for size & what I use): same could be accomplished with the right Penn or Crack (or Shimano if you don't mind holding an anchor while you fish or certain others! (or for those adept enough of course Conventionals)
