Monofiloment VS Braided line ...

[DanDanUK]

I have Mono at the moment yes it's ok to use but i'm going to move onto Braid one because it dosen't spring off the spool as soon as you pull back your bail arm, and two because it's stronger !

but i hear what you guys are saying it does all depend on what sort of fishing you are doing.

For all my lure fishing and long range carp fishing 150 yrs + I use Braid Berkley Whiplash in 50lb + get all my lures back and the 40lb carp I had this year would have been lost on mono as went round the back of an island and would have shredded mono.

You need both Dan some fisheries in the UK have banned braid and it can be to harsh with heavy rods on smaller fish as no stretch you can bend hooks ( we know about bent hooks don’t we ) and pull hooks. With Mono you have stretch so gives you a bit of leeway. Also I have seen fish have there faces ripped of by people playing them to hard on braid it take a bit of practise but as it has no stretch you feel every knock on that line.

Braided line is an absolute must for jigging fish in deep water. The sensitivity along with a graphite rod is an absolute MUST! I like them both spiderwire and powerpro.

For my use, super braids are the thing for open water. It's more about the sensitivity and hook setting ability for me. Throught the ice, heavy mono is hard to beat, it does not freeze up like the braids and it is easy on the hands.

Each to their own.

POWERPRO IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO, BRAIDED LINE GET IT IN YELLOW OR GREEN BUT WILL BE ABLE TO PULL ALMOST ANYTHING IN THE BOAT UNLESS IT DESPOOLS U. GREAT FEEL FOR FISH AND HARD TO CUT ON BOTTOM STRUCTURE.
