Hi - Well here's my logic since I do the braid/fluoro leadher thing on most of my setups. These are in no particular order of importance (to me).1) Braid can last many seasons without being degraded by sunlight and natural aging of the material.2) Braid (or Fireline in my case) has essentially no memory. This means it does not retain its coily nature.3) Braid has no stretch which means better strike detection (whether this matters or not would depend on the type of fish your after and how they are biting).4) Braid being stronger if I get hung up I can just break the leader off (hopefully) and not lose a bunch of my main line. More a factor in deeper water I suppose.5) Using a heavier main line with a still thin diameter lets me use a variety of different line sizes (diameters) on the same outfit (obviously within reason) by just changing the leader.6) I can get knots/tangles out of Fireline that would send the setup to the rod case til I got home if I were just using mono or fluoro (unless the line gets pulled really tight - then its goodnight with the braid - at least with Fireline).My 0.02.Tight Lines and Hard Water
Do you use a swivel? How long of a leader?
i have a couple of rods with fireline on them and i use small jigs on them. four lb test and i tie to the line with no leader. personally have caught a ton of gills,perch and crappies on this set up. could i have caught more with a leader. maby so but i doubt it. self confidence is important. i love braid.
