Thread: Braid vs Mono

Come over here to Greers and pull cranks and you will get some braid or the owners of Bandit Lures will be sure to send you a Christmas Card every year.

The 1/2 ounce weights weren't as bad but if you tried to shake the line loose then it made matters worse by getting tangled on the rod tip. I tried it on a couple outings with the same results so I ended up cutting the whole mess off and going back to my 10# Hi-vis Vicious.

Yikes, there is a very simple solution for wet braid sticking to your poles. Wax em with car wax, makes all the difference in the world.

LOL, let them use mono to pull cranks, maybe the more they sell the cheaper they will be for us!
