    Default Braid ? Mono ?


    Less water resistance pushing minnows or jigs, so you dont have to use as much weight. Same for longlining.
    What do you"all think

    I tried braid spider rigging and pulling cranks! Was not a fan! Absolutely love braid for single pole jigging! But I will stick to my mono for all other methods!

    You will get a hundred different answers to this question, in the end it all boils down to personal preference. I pull cranks with braid, I single pole with braid, I use braid for rigging with mono or fluoro leaders and long line with either mono or fluorocarbon, sometimes both.

    Power troll and crank with braid, power trolling I use a mono lead from the weight to the jig hoping not to loose the 2 dollar trolling weight if I hang up.
    All other methods I use mono, pushing minners I want to be able to break off if need be and I'm not concerned with weight slo trolling, 1 oz very common in my rig and don't be surprised to see a 2 oz weight on my poles when fishing more than 10 foot deep.
