I have 5 spools of unused braid in the boat because I find it a pain in the you know what. I started crappie fishing with light mono, then switched to braid and quickly switched back to mono due to tangles on the main line, tangles at the jigs, line cutting into the spool, wraping around the rod tip, and the difficulty in changing baits. I use seaguar invizx fluoro in 10 lb and am able to straighten hooks if it comes to that and have never lost a fish due to line breakage.
