The Guru 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hey all,Just curious as to what your all prefer to fish with? Braid or Monofilament? I myself prefer mono becuase from what I have used of braid it is very frustrating at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bennyboy 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 oooh tough one....i can't decide which i prefer really...i use both for different styles of fishing, mainly keeping to mono when chasing bigger fish, keep the braid for bites or lure fishing i guess??

fred 1 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I agree with Bennyboy. I like braid for light lure fishing, plastics and anywhere i need to cast big distances. I prefer Mono for big fish as it gives a bit a shock absorber when it's thrashing about. Most of my reels have braid on them now but it does take a bit to get used to.

Guest Butters Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 same... braid for the light stuff, lures, weightless etc and mono for when chasing bigger stuff.. but then again fishing from a boat i dont mind using braid for when chasing snapper out deeper.. just using a longer leader.. depends on the out fit aswell.. good topic.. this discussion could go on and on...

Schnapper 0 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I'm usually the opposite.I like mono for my light river fishing as its cheaper to replace as i get snagged and frayed on blackberries all the time, I also use mono off jetties.I like to use Braid when boat fishing though, gives much better feel, it's direct so you get a good strike in depth.

Barney 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I fish braid on my boat outfits for whiting and snapper, mono for lure casting off the beach and light weight fishing off the boat for gar etc.Mono for 15kg game gear and braid for jigging.braid for heavy bait fishing off the beach chasing sharks, stingers and mulloway......
