Re: Got rid of the braided line back to mono

I would not change from braid to mono , only braid lets you feel , what is going on with your lure , bumping bottom , shy nibbles , etc.......!

Also you can't work certain type of lures well without the almost zero stretch of braid .

But I see your argument about the fish getting spooked of a line , that is too visible in the water .

In German angling magazines I read about combining the advantages of the two kinds of line by connecting 5 to 15 yards mono to the end of the braided main line with a special knot, not so much for visibility reasons , but to get a sort of "shock-absorber" for some kinds of non-predatory fish , that are likely to tear the hook out of their lips , when played too hard .

Maybe , this could be an issue for you as well .

Greetings , diemai
