I've got a question about mono and braid, relating to the rod: Are the rod ratings based on mono or braid or both?
If I have a rod that's rated for 6 to 12 pound test, I assume that is in terms of mono. Would I then be able to use heavier braid? Assuming the braid is smaller diameter and lighter than monofilament of the same lb test rating, I would guess the answer to be yes, but I am not sure.
I've got some 20 lb PowerPro (on the box it says 6 lb mono diameter) that I want to try on a rod rated for 6 to 12 pound line. Will it work effectively?
