awesome video man usually i prefer mono for most of the style of fishing i do which is either wharf, beach or the rocks. easier to manage, easy to get and less hassle unlike braid

@jonnywaselectric 6 лет назад

I have heard from a few people to keep a small lip balm tube in your tackle bag, if you get a wind knot to smear some on the knot before you pull on the braid and most of the time it will slip undone.

Hey Victor love your sit and how you are doing what you love. At your age it's awesome to see that in young people love the videos keep it up. Have a question do you rinse your reel's off after you fish in salt water. Keep chasing the dream.

@SJBassin 6 лет назад

Great video as usual. Good comparison of both as well. Only thing for me is the line capacity. Being a freshwater fisherman (not casting more that 50 feet usually) I have no need for double the capacity. I personally have become a fan of Flouro. But you are 100% right on Braid and pulling hooks out of fish's mouths. I have watched Crappie fisherman fishing 10lb braid and losing fish constantly due to ripping the hook out. Anyways like I said great video and always very informative! looking forward to the next one.

@K80tik 6 лет назад

Great video! I can agree with everything said. I used braided for years thinking its the best of the best, but truly not the case after years of fishing the Indian Ocean and Red Sea. The elasticity is great with mono and I have lost several fish due to them darting under coral or a shipwreck with braided. I love the series.

@grandmasterbash 5 лет назад

@tango-bravo 9 месяцев назад

I had never tried braid until very recently. I was amazed how much further it casts! I fish from the shoreline of lakes in Pennsylvania with jigs and crank baits. For me, the added casting distance is what appeals to me about braid. I decided to back the spool about halfway with some monofilament to offset the cost of the braid. So far, so good. I about to put some 6lb braid on a vintage Penn 722 backed with a thick rubbery flyfishing line because I think that will work best on the plastic spool. I’m new to this and still experimenting but overall for lakeshore fishing mainly for bass and panfish braid seems like an obvious win.

Victor, thanks so much for this comparison between mono and braid. I searched your videos. It occurs to me that a wire leader, maybe even a very short wire leader, might be very helpful to prevent break offs. Could you provide a short video on when to use wire leaders and when not to use wire leaders? I think that'd be very helpful. And if I missed one you've already done please direct me to it. Again thanks so much for your Channel, for your videos and for your partner!

Thank you for the information. I’m starting to use conventional reels for surf fishing and I want to get some distance. I’m getting a lot of mixed answered. Like using suffix titanium plus and 30-50 yard top shot of braid. I see people spool a whole reel with braid for distance also. If you have any extra information that would be great.

@swart121 3 года назад

Hi the way i see it and what helps me alot is i spool my reel eith thin like like 10lb braid mono should work just as well then i have a shock leader just to cast on usualy 15 or 20lb mono a bit longer then the rod just to get the power down without snaping the line once the 9foot or hoe ever long the leader is done traveling through the eyes the smaller line have so little resistance on the eyes that the weight just keep going but it has to be thin diameter or els it rubs on the eyes more and resist the line from flowing freely thus reduce the distance thats why i have 10lb braid on and about 3 wide arms lenth of mono leader to cast trust me it feels weird the first few cast but once you understand how it works you will love it. Good luck and hope it helped you out.

@jakemedley7423 6 лет назад

Up here in the great lakes (trolling for salmon and steelhead) we use mono on down riggers because braid likes to slip out of the rubber gator clips off the ball, and braid is used on slack lines more or less, like using lead core and copper wire line, and dipsy divers we use spiderwire stealth. All leaders are mono or flouro though as it gives a bit of a shock effect.

@swart121 3 года назад

Hey thanx for the video i made the switch to braid purely on line distance and it sure make small fish feel massive but im thinking of switching back to 10lb mono with leader still need to test out the feel and the impact it will make on landing fish but i had a look today 10lb mono is the same diameter as 30lb braid its scary to think of it that way. My question is would you recomend switching to 10 or even 6lb mono from my 10lb braid i do love my braid and never gave me any problems but i feel the cost for what im fishing is bit exteme would i make a mistake going down a size and using mono i always have loose drag anyway i hate snaping line

@longrider42 6 лет назад

Before using braid on any fishing pole, make sure the eyes wont be cut by the braid. I've used Mono for both fresh and salt and I've never had a problem. I only use Ande Mono line, on all my reels. I've tried braid and it just does not cast as far, or maybe I'm not using enough weight.

@situationreview 6 лет назад

You need a better / less than a junk rod... Braid does not cut unless - 1. You use it in salty... and don't clean it. or 2. the rod is now heading toward the junk yard. Braid lets you know immediately as soon as a fish snaps, while a mono may not...

@theeabster1983 5 лет назад

I have had problems with braided line. spiderwire is the line I am using. but when I tried to pull the line to test my drag the line spins around the spool without the drag moving . I thought maybe the line was not tight enough around the spool, so I took it off and respond it tighter and after a few uses the line does it again. Was wondering if you had any problems like this or suggested how to fix it

@mulletmaster2392 4 года назад

When you go to tie your braid to the spool, leave a long tag end and lay it along the spool and wind on the first several wraps over that tag end, this will help the line grip. Doesn’t need to be neat and perfect, you just want the first several wraps of line to be in contact with that tag end. And when you spool up the reel do it under a decent amount of tension.

@tango-bravo 9 месяцев назад

I had the same problem recently with braid on a shallow plastic spool for a Mitchell 300. I thought I had lost the drag washers or something as the whole reel of braid was spinning on the spool. I decided to take off the braid and fill the spool halfway with mono and then the rest of the way with the braid. So far so good. I think the mono just sticks better somehow, especially on a plastic spool.

@erikstark3250 3 года назад

My question is, and I seem to be running into problems with....is it effective to cast and crank with braided line? All the videos I see when people are using braided line when they're reeling in their fish you can actually hear the sound of the line against the pole. If I'm casting a deep runner in heavy current is it making that noise as im reeling in the rapala?

@HyperFaultic 3 года назад

Ok so here’s the thing, using straight braid for casting (in my opinion) is a bad idea for conventional reels. If you backlash, you will burn your braid and have to change it more. And yes it runs against your guides when reeling in (if you have crappy guides it can start to crack ceramics or degrade them in general). What I do in California (Bc that’s where I live) I always do about 75-120yards of mono topshot. I fish 40lb mono topshot, and 80lb braid typically for casted. Just give it a try and figure out what you like, I do this Bc I fish from piers in cali for thresher sharks, and this works fine for it.

@erikstark3250 3 года назад

@@HyperFaultic thank you. Yes the very day I started using braided line I stopped catching fish. I started using it because I got a gigantic brown trout on my line using mono and it snapped my line. Pissed off, I vowed to never lose one again so I put some braided on and now nothing

@Aestheticnerdlife 6 лет назад

I personally disagree on the cast ability of braid, as a bass fisherman I prefer the cast of mono. larger diameter so better control on a bait caster, plus ive always found it more difficult to prevent blow ups with braid when fishing light soft plastics. I do prefer braid for heavy rigs like an Alabama though, or large soft plastics like the Osprey baits.

@pj0017 5 лет назад

@violinoscar 3 года назад

I try to keep it really simple; most of the time I fish for bream and I use a rig with a running sinker that is allowed to run right onto the hook. Here is the rub; bream fishing usually costs you a lot of terminal tackle. There are snags and rocky bottoms and these are the best spots for catching the fish. I want to be able to tie my line onto the hook directly. I am told that I can't do this with braid, that I need a mono leader. This complicates my rig. I would need a new knot in the line to connect the leader to mainline. Apparently braid requires new knots - my old favourites won't do. This is something I wish this otherwise excellent clip had touched on; braid doesn't knot so well (so I am told). Anyway, I scare easily. And like many folk I am very resistant to change. My son is a keen braid user and he carries a special tool for cutting the line. Huh? Teeth won't do? Ahggggggg!!!

@dct581 2 года назад

Braid holds a knot much better than any mono. It is thinner and "sinks into itself." However, I understand your position. I like and have had great success using braid for its strength, then tying to a swivel, then using a couple feet of fluro or mono as a leader. IMHO, you get the best of both worlds. The strength of the braid and the stretch of mono/fluro. I use this setup if I'm fishing fresh or salt water.
