Power Pro Braid Line Question

[jorluivil]

You're going to get a million and one answers about the good and the bad of braid, best answer I can give it to give it a try and see it you like it. I've caught everything from yellowfin to trout on my spectra and have been using it for well over 6 years now. I have it on all my reels, the only thing I use mono for is as backing or as a topshot.

power pro is waxed, it sticks to its self, JB or Izor is better.
straight braid on all my reels form 20#-65#. cuts thru kelp, and mono on the cattle boats like butter. it might even cut through those new fangled knot-less hooks I keep hearing about.

I am actually using Izor right now on my spinners just I keep catching to many fish on this weird fangled hook i got and it keeps taking me into the kelp haha
But is Izor really better because people always tell me I'm stupid for going with 20# Izor on my spinners
Also I put 30# Izor on my penn jigmaster

if i'm not mistaken, bus kid isn't talking about izor mono. izor braid or jb braid/hollow core.

btw, that discussion is from 2005. there have been a lot of improvements since then, but it's a good starting point.

Thanks gupppy for the thread it does help a lot!
But still looking for more opinions from other kayakers on their views on this!
It is something I have been wanting to do and been on the fence about for a while
I have been thinking about putting braid on my shamino baitrunner
and then running a mono leader off of it!
If I can fit 30# mono on a reel what is an advised weight for braid to spool on it?
