I have a questions for the veteran fishermen who use level wind reels. I have been using braided lines for my spinning outfit for Wiper lately, and it is great stuff!
(Power Pro Spectra 20lb) Before I load my level wind reel with it though I would like to ask if its any good for casting? At $12.00 for 150 yards thought it better to ask first.
Is there an other line that would give me the strength to diameter ratio braid does that cast better?
I’ve cast 30 lb power pro with my calcuttas. Works good for accuracy and casting around cover. Distance was not better than mono. In fact, I can cast mono further on a bait caster, but I use my bait caster for accuracy, not distance. I like the larger diameter of the 30lb.
I think braid works great, only problem I get is after all day casting my thumb gets like a rope burn from the line. I use 30-50lb braid in mine all the time…
i like to put some mono on underneath just put like 100 yards of braid on top.. i can cast a hell of alot farther and more importantly i can feel every little thing with braid as compared to mono
