I fished braid for small fish for years. Then I went back to mono on ultralight gear and much prefer it, especially to slow the drop on small jigs. For years I did 40 pound braid for catfish, and then switched to mono for good circle hook sets. I used braid for bass for years, and then realized that the fish could see the braid long before the leader ever got them on a retrieve. Then I switched to mono as a compromise between abrasion resistance and visibility. In short, I’ve gone full circle to mono.
Good video! Two setups I use for panfish 6lb braid for main line and a 2 foot leader of 4lb clear mono, or 3lb clear P-line florocarbon both setup have worked very well for bluegill and Crappie using 6 foot Ultralight rods.
I like braid for fishing brush piles and its more sensitive than mono. Mono can be tough to get out of a brush pile because of the strech but with braid you can straighten the hook.
Thanks for the informative lesson on line. Your videos are always very good. I noticed that you are still fishing with your old rods. How many rods do you normally carry in your boat. Thanks again for sharing your information. I have ordered some of your rods, just have not received them yet.
Of course everyone has opinions lol. Here are my thoughts for everyone I use a 10lbs braid mainline and add a leader of mono or fluorocarbon depending on the bite. This is both cost effective as the braid last a long time. You just have to find the Braid that works great on spinning gear. KastKing Super Power Yellow Braided Fishing Line in the 10lbs test I have found works best as I have spent a small fortune in testing braided lines lol. As always thank you for the great content on you videos

Spot on with the braided line twist at the rod tip. Braid is all I use now with a fluorocarbon leader.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing! A video on knots would be helpful too.
Got the new rod love it
awesome
Let up on hook set with braid. I feel the weight, pulling to the side. Fishing deep brush piles you'll like it better.
Very useful video. What are hybrid lines used for?

this video was shot the day before the new rods came in
I use mono and fluorocarbon spiderwire brand for fluorocarbon I don't like braid at all
Im not liking braid either.....
Braid is a great line you won't lose a good fish due to breaking but man the line twist you talking about is horrible 🤦🏾♂️
