Question about spinning reels and braid

Postby Questor » Tue Apr 10, 2007 8:00 am

What is your impression of braided line on spinning reels? Is it a good match? The better question is probably "What type of line (mono, braid, flouor, etc) is best to use on a spinning reel?" Thanks.

Hi Q,
Good question!
Personally I like mono on spinning reels because I think it casts better and if I get a twist in it I can usually get it untangles.
However, if I'm using mono heavier than about 12#, if I'm fishing deep where line stretch and sensitivity are issues I'd likely go to braid.
For casting small lures I like Elite. For live baiting I use Seige.
I only use fluorocarbon for leaders.
best,
L
