Have seen on lots of videos people using braid to single pole jig fish . How many of you use braid ? size ? color ?I know and have looked at the past threads on the subject but thought there might be newer options not talked about .Possible that some have found a better line since the older threads as well .
I use braid exclusively on my single pole set ups... been using it for years 15-20 lb spider wire or power pro! It’s so sensitive it’s crazy!

Braid is all I use. Have used most of the brands out there and all seem to work good. Power pro has been the best for me and I usually use 20/8. But I am thinking about getting a spool of the new K9 braid to try, getting a lot of press recently. Also a lot of guys like the Bone Head braid.
I use braid for my single pole fishing, it truly helps feeling the thump and trash down there.
15lb for me too

Tie direct or leader used ?
I use Nano with a Floro leader. Unless I keep getting broke off then I tie the Nano direct to jig. Doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.
Either way. 10# braid.
No leader at all tie straight to it! Loop knot or regular knot

4lb berkley fireline in black smoke. As it gets older, it will loose the black and go gray and I like it better. Its like wine. And it lasts forever. No leader and it works great trolling too. No swipers get away with it.
Will braid eat the ceramic eyes on b/m poles ?
I have not noticed any wear on mine, wear most likely occurs while constantly casting and retrieving. I don't do a whole lot of that, I may need to check the guides closerSent from my SM-J337R7 using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:
