Try mono first on then uni-knot the braid. I have tried them all, powerpro is my preference. Use a uni-knot at the tip with 3+ feet of florocarbon or mono the "hide" it.
On that type of lake I would probably just fish 4-6 lb. mono with a good reel. I feel the drag system on a reel can make a huge difference. My opinion is if you have a good drag and set it right you can catch alot bigger fish then you think on alot smaller line then you think. Granted you set drag right
. I've gone back and forth with braided and mono, they both have they're pro's and con's. Braided is more sensitive to me, no stretch so you hit'em quicker. I do feel mono is thinner and less visible than both braided and floro.
Tubedude told me about Shakespeare excaliber (I think it is) it is an awesome line but sometimes hard to find in the weight you want without ordering it online. I need to get some of that
Thanks for the post and at least you one.
