I do it so I don't have to worry about the entire spool of line getting nicks and breaking at odd points. I tend to have my rods next to each other when trailering the boat and more than once the line from one has been tangled in other poles eyelets\reels, what not. By using braid on all but the last two feet I don't need to worry as much about the condition of the line. I know if it's going to break, in which section it will.(the 2 feet with the light line.) It makes it easy to re-rig, cuts down on the amount of times i have to replace the line on the entire spool, and I don't have to worry about how far back to cut the line when it does break.

Works for me, many people don't. If you want a similar topic, let's discuss if beans belong in chili or not?

blasphemy! what's the point of chili WITHOUT beans!!!

Lol, I didn't even know there was a debate about this.

Same for topwater lures.
