Wow, nice to see all this insight!
I've never tried braid. What are the benefits? Just the "uber-strength" and longevity?
I noticed yesterday that my Berkley Trilene burns easily - I burned it twice, even wetting the knot I burned it.
Troutman - I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to use 4 lb!![[Image: surprised.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/surprised.gif)
I used to use 6lb, line (man I loved that stuff!!) but I kept snapping it on bass.
I'm thinking about buying a couple extra spools for my reel - so I can set it up with a good bass line, trout line, and catfish line. Does anyone else do this?
IIRC, they sell the spools for $12 a piece, for my $50 reel. That way I could spend $24 and effectively have 3 reels.
14lb drag will hold up to cats, right?
