Braided line is sure different. This morning was my first time using Power Pro 30-pound braid.
For catfish I always use a sliding sinker rig. With mono, the weight usually lands close to the leader swivel. Today I was having trouble with the bait shooting out where I wanted it, but the sliding weight wasn't traveling nearly as far, falling maybe 8-10 feet closer to me than the bait.
Other than that, I like it. It had no trouble hauling in the huge masses of weeds that swept my line under rocks. I'm sure I would have lost a few rigs if I had been using my standard mono line.
Hopefully next time I'll see how it does with fish instead of weeds.
