Braid Tips

[niko]

what pound braid r u using? i gave up on 20#, it's not worth the hassle, especially if there is any wind in your face. if you just spooled up recently, as the stuff gets broken in it should be easier to manage - but by then you've lost a bunch off the spool and loose some of the advantage of using braid in the 1st place. i've switched to heavier braid even on my light setups. good luck, any life in the bay yet? i'm cod fishing tomorrow

Yea it's 20# Niko and thanks for the casting advice Chief. I'm trying to remain optimistic about it but I have a feeling it's going to come off. Is it good to troll with? I'll probably slow troll with worms mostly. I got to think it probably isn't good for that. What about jigging off the bottom? I'm going to head out on Duxbury Bay this afternoon around 2:30pm and will let you know. Fri afternoon I took a few casts while wading in the flats but nothing. Yesterday there were guys lined up on the bridge???? Maybe they just had cabin fever to get out in the beautiful day, I know I did! Good luck with the cod!

strip it off but don't give up on braid. the sensitivity is well worth the few hassles that come w/ braid. try 30 or 40 on light stuff and 50/65 on beefier stuff. good luck this afternoon. moving down there in a month, can't wait to start learning the bay and surrounding area -looks pretty fishy. take it east, paul
