Again, I would stay away from using braid on a kayak too much risk. Using braid on a boat is good, especially if you hooked 200lb T shark.

I just don't see any advantage of using braided line on a kayak for fishing threshers. Threshers pull real hard and can yank the rod right out of your hands.

I like the stretch on the monofilament. I hooked a thresher last week using 50lb main mono line with a 80lb mono leader. Worked like a champ!

But if you really want to hear more than you'll ever need to know, read what the KING has to say THE GREAT JIM FISKADORO!! http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ad.php?t=13343
