lmao

millionare- got a dollar or two
trim- I have an excellent boat mechanic as a family member
Big Lake- wish i knew cuz i'd go tomorrow

no but for real give braid a chance.. i think you'll like it just as much as the rest of us. Its tough stuff!! Most of the time you'll bend your hook straight before it pops lol If you have baitcaster put some invisibraid on one and see how much you like it.

I'm with the monofilament guys. Mono rocks! I tried the power pro and couldn't stand it. Big Game or P-line is the ticket for me.

Power Pro is the reel deel. These guys know.

Samarai braid..........I use it and won't buy power crap or mono again...........it's a braid sure, but smooth as mono....go rub your fingers on some power crap, then on the Samarai......you'll feel th edifference....The 15lb is the diam or 4lb mono...........it's 35bucks for 150 yds, but that's all you'll need for years!!! It doesn't fray like power crap, it doesn't fade like power crap and you can feel everything!!!!!

Braided line is great for topwater; you can cast farther, work your bait better, and hooksets are instant. I dont like every reel spooled braid, but it defiantly has its place.

Uni-Knot for your baits.

Double Uni-Knot for your leader.

i manage to break off less with cajun line. even the cheaper line from wally world (200 yards for $3.00) is even better than big game

P-Line.......if you dont want to fish to snap your line just put P-Line on. I have had this stuff rubbed against pilings and all and it stays strong. All I can tell you is dont get snagged on something. I'm not even sure if you can cut this stuff with a razor.....j/j. I love P-Line and cant see going to something else in the near future.
