    Agree with all that's been said about advantages of braid. I use 30/8 Depth Hunter and almost never lose a bait. Just make sure your snap swivel is rated higher than the line rating or that will be your break point. I do buy a lot of replacement treble hooks. ��

    The 30/8 runs about 10% deeper than the 10 lb mono charts.

    Y'all talked me into the depth hunter. Seems easier with the different colors every 25ft to get to the desired depth. A lot easier than my set up I have right now.

    Mo, what line counting reels do you have? Are you happy with them or do you wish you had gone with another brand?

    Thanks,
    Seth

    How does braid perform longlineing jigs ? A lot of long liners swear by 6 lb mono. I like to keep my stuff set up to swap over easy. I'd rather loose a few cranks than swap my line on line counters several times a year.

    I may go to braid next time I swap new line then. I have a buddy that just recently swapped out 10 year old braid. But he only spider rigs, and crankbaits. No longline. Apparently it last a long time. I replace the first 200+ft of my stren hiviz every year. Something to consider

    Default Mono vs Braid

    Something else to keep in mind, braid tangles are a nightmare. Mono can usually be worked out, braid has to be cut
