-Lots of things can go wrong with braid!


Like what??? :dunno:

-Ive had multiple leaders snapped. Use better leader line, loosen the drag.
Ive had where the line is coming off the spool dig into the line on the spool and snap a fish off that way. I've heard of it, never had it happen.
Ive had the drag on the reel not work becouse the line was so slick it wouldnt hold on the spool and just spin! A little mono backing solves that problem, 20-30' problem solved.
 Multiple knots not holding! Tie the right not!
 I seen a 1141 drift rod explode on a hook set. So have I, by guys using 30-50lbs braid on steelhead rods rated for 6 to 15 lb. line.
Alot of the instinces were of other guys on my boat with braid on there outfits. For getting down with lighter weight you cant beat it but I use mono for salmon\steelhead :twocents:
Seems like alot of operator error, :twocents:
For the guys that like it thats great, And I do use it on sturgeon and other times when I need to get down with lighter leads but in the smaller rivers it dont work for me :twocents:
