Hi all,
Looking for opinions on braid fishing line. I fish from shore (saltwater), using a spinning reel casting for salmon. I currently use 10 lb mono and have pretty good success with it, but with all the hype about braided line was wondering if I should give it a try.. I know there are some advantages like no line stretch, longer casts, etc.
Is there a better brand of braid to try if I decide to go that route? Thanks for any advice.
all my rods (both fresh and salt) have braid. I use Suffix 832 , from 4# on my ultralight stuff to 30# on my salt. And no you don't need 100# line to catch 100# fish. My surf gear has 10# braid with 30# fluoro leader and I can cast a lot farther then the guys using 30# mono. caught a 65# shark on that gear.
