Yes really. I must not be a serious trout fisherman. I do, however, know how to set my drag!

If you're pulling hooks, your drag is too tight or you're trying to horse them in. The only increases I have seen by using braid are increased feel and deeper hooksets.
Even with TW? I find it easier to work a TW bait with mono than braid... I do use suffix braid w/ a fluro leader for almost everything else though

Y'all must be using hollow line cause my mono sinks way faster than braid. I use 20lb powerpro for top and 12lb pline for everything else.

think thats my route from now on too...

your gonna laugh but I've had good success with cajun line 12lb...

I like pline flouro/mono mix but it kept breaking on me during casts??? Montauk mentioned that the reel spray I use may be causing it to turn brittle...

swithced to cajun line and have liked it...it holds up good and doesn't have bad memory

I use sufix 832 for single hook lures. Topwater or suspending baits I use good ole stren original. I prefer the extra stretch with mono for treble hook lures.

Thanks Gerald, going pick up some right now. I don't use braid anymore. We use either PLine or Trilene 10-15lb test. 12lb test on specks with a 15lb leader off the cork. 15 all the way on reds. 10lb on bass.

Yeah we have underwater snags but I like the sensitivity of it and the ability to cast kinda far. This is only for worms and small spinnerbaits. We use 12 on big spinnerbaits and crankbaits. We don't catch monsters.

20 lb pp with 15 lb fluro leader for everything except topwater . Topwater I use straight 20 lb pp braid . I hate the strech of mono . I fish with the drag really really loose. I use my thumb the control the amount of line I allow a fish to take . Mono is poo poo
