Thread: Braided Line vs Mono

I really believe that a crappie is so focused on what hes about to eat, he doesn't look too much at the line especially if theyre hungry. I remember years ago backing stumps on Marion, we used cane poles, 30 pound mono big as a light wire , big ole hooks and about 7 big leads and a cork about 4 inches long and would load the boat. Cant wait to go,,,if this weather will ever clear....

I use braided line for vertical fishing. Love the toughness and it will stay on the spool much longer then mono. Brush pile fishing a friend of mine did a test. He had braided line and I had my 4 pond test mono. We both had same color and same jig. We saw no difference. We us 10 pound 2 pound dia Power pro. Vertical I use 30lb test with 8 dia. Now if I am dock fishing it is 4 pound mono only. I want that jig to float down slow as possible so mono is a must.
