Thread: Patoka Lake First time this year

I use the power pro hi vis yellow 20lb braid on my Okuma's for trolling the cranks, then use the power pro hi vis yellow 15lb braid on my spinning long lining rods for jigs etc. and the chart works great for these sizes. I like dragging the jigs over the points as you will pick up a occasional cat. or walleye as a plus. Works for me. On Patoka,,never lost hardly any cranks last yr as the wood under the water is getting super soft..and if you go get your cranks,,you can work them off. The same for most jig type baits too. The braid is just stronger, no stretch, small dia. and seems to save the baits more than the mono.
