This should probably be in it's own thread, but once you have your shiny new braid spooled up. If you happen to be fishing on a party boat don't forget to put a NICE long piece of mono or Flouro before you start tying your hooks and other junk on. That way when you tangle. You tangle the flouro and the mate or poor schmo next to you doesn't slice their finger trying to untangle.

Also when you rig up to Flouro it's a lot easier to cut and just retie a new rig on. Braid is a bit harder to tie knots into than mono. So I like to, especially when bottom fishing, put a real long piece of flouro say 6+' and even cutting off a foot here and there it will last me all day and I don't need to deal with the braid at all. Also when going small diameter to large diameter learn the ALBRIGHT knot, it's in my opinion the best braid to flouro/mono knot out there.
