How to make Braid SINK

[ultraslab]

IMHO though I don't have a way to prove it. Livescope because it shows braid and braid only as visible makes you think that braid and braid alone has a bend in it in the water colom. While yes most braid floats ( with the acception of the sinking braids as listed through out this thread, my personal favorite being the Varvias Double Cross ) all lines have a bow in the as they fall unless there is an anchor attatched and even then just harder to see. Skeetbum has gotten me to using braids in a lot of conditions like the Varvias master limited super trout in the .15 gou range ( 4.5lb american) because of the small diamter and ease of casting small jigs. Though there are certain prsentations like vertical jigging where I employ Tatsu flourocarbon as it doesn't foul the hook as much as braid would. I personaly have no need to see my line as I can clearly see my jig and the slow sink of the mentioned braid always my a slower presentation of the jig. This is especialy inportant summer and full winter where fish or not agreesive in the bite. My 2 cents. Scott

Scott I agree that all line will have a bow unless vertical fishing. My images show there isn’t as much bow in the line as some possibly think. Seeing the line is of no importance to me, it just goes with the territory when fishing braid.
