Less of a chance of breaking poles or holders. With big line you could hang something and break a 75 dollar pole or holders. I would rather lose a bait over a pole anyday. Just my 2 cents

i started with braid cause thats what creekslick uses,might loose a crank or two a year,most time wit 30lb u can pull them loose and never stop.i have never broke a pole,know how to set my drag,hehe.i have broke some holders ,but dont think it was because of the braid
I use braid, and have never broke a pole. Like Maj and Rees said, just keep your drag set loose, and no prob. I use 10/3 braid, but put a cheap line as a backing. You only need about 300/400 feet of braid per reel, and you can measure that with the reel!!! I do use a clear leader too!

10lb Suffix
Power Pro hivis yellow 15# and use cheap mono for backing.

+1 for the Offshore Angler
I done tolt yall..........there aint no line but Berkley 10# Big Game in Solar Selector now git with it!
you won;t break a pole if you do like I do, Set the drag loose, problem solved. I use 20 lb hi vis yellow and orange braid
I hate it when I give good info and some gewb posts the same thing as everybody else and it starts a new page!!!!! THanks Don!
No prob. I was just answering his question WB, OOPS, I mean Nathan LOL
Wow now I'm really confused.... Think I'll start a poll....
It all works, I will say this tho. A guy on this board once told me "its just a crappie". He catches as many and as big a fish as anyone on here and uses hi viz 10 pound mono, period. If its good enuff for him its good enuff for me.
