Is there any mono or flora carbon that is as sensitive as braid? I've had braid on all my crappie poles the last 3 years. Hook-ups have increased but the number of bites I think have decreased. Are they seeing the braid better than they do mono?? Also braid looks like a rope tied to my jig on the livescope screen. I'm only using #15 test braid

I use braid or Nanofil on all my rods tied to a large swivel, then 6 or 8lb fluoro to the jig. Works great and I like seeing the double signal on the scope.
After trying a few monos, I settled on cheap Mr. Crappie 6 lb test. And I'm one of those guys that don't mind spending money on quality tackle. I've never tried braid and don't see the need for it with my kind of fishing.Quote:

At least with mono, if you get your line in your trolling motor, you stand a chance. With braid it’s a broken rod. The Mr Crappie 6 or 8# works good for me. With the 8#, I can grab the drop shot and the line above, and usually shake off a gar. Haven’t tried flouro. Probably will when I give up on shiners and start jigging.
I started using braid during the spawn on Horseshoe Lake in Monterey, LA.Quote:

I've told my wife that I need a few more Zebco mini 33s so I can have braid when I need it and mono or flora carbon when I need it. Sounds like a good way to get more toys
