Re: What kind of braid?
I've been fishing many years, but always try new things when they become available. Tried out circle hooks way back and never stopped, especially for Stripers. Tried power pro when it first came out, and never stopped. I have it on all but a couple of my rods.
Couple of things are important in my mind about braid. Never, NEVER wrap it around your hand if it gets snagged on the bottom. It will cut you to the bone. I alway put a top shot of mono for at least the length of the rod, so when it does get snagged, the mono will break out first, anf =d you don't have to cut it at the reel, saving much expensive braid. When snagged, two wraps around the reel, and a straight pull bas will do the trick, if you can't drive up on the line, and try to pull it out at 180 degrees to the snag.
For trolling, I like to use the florescent colors orange, yellow green, as they are easy to spot, and you can see if they get crossed up.
I have tried the Chinese made dyeema braid, and find it to be good ( so far ). I also use specific colors if going to different pound tests. For example Orange is 20#, pink is 10# on ultralight, moss green id 50# and all other colors on 30#. Give it a shot. It is super sensitive............Papa
