Thread: Wished I’d never tried braid

I wished I’d never tried braid .
Now , I can’t decide between Daiwa J-braid X8 and 2# P-line Floroclear .
Especially on my fiberglass rods .
With braid , the sensitivity is so much better than with the Floroclear. With graphite , the braid is still better in that aspect, but the difference isn’t as far apart.
I swapped out the spool on my Shimano Soare bb500spg with one with braid today paired with my new Graywolf 4’11” Glass UL .
Using a .3g jig , I couldn’t tell much difference in distance, but I could feel every tap and a four inch bluegill felt like a 6-7” bluegill.
Big difference in feel . And in the fun factor.
Caught nine in just over an hour . Lost my jig and decided it was too hot and left .
