Favorite Braid for Bucktail Jigging

[Goose]

I been using stren super braid the last 3 years and luv it. The true braid qualities make super braid friendly on the tackle and handling. The chit is ridiculously strong, but after reading up on some of the reports I'm definitely gonna try sufix. For a while I had the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' mentality using BG mono or PP...not necessarily a good thing. Thanxs CH

I love using braid. But I hate when it digs in on a conventional. Anyway to keep this from happening less?

I find this happens with lighter weight setups. 1.5 oz and less, when I am cast for like bones and albies.

Not an issue with larger lures with more drag.

I was talking to a guy I fish with about sufix this fall. He said he had it on his saltiga last year and disliked it enough that he took it off... Not sure why as that was enough for me at the time. Anyone have opinion on its uses on spinner vs conven. I am always looking for the most abrasion resistant for my 7000cl to fight those freakin abutments.

I use it on both. I'm not saying Sufix is perfect - I do get the occasional wind knot if I don't periodically reel in with some resistance on the line. It seems to have a tighter braid than powerpro, and I don't get as many breakoffs with convench where the line digs into the side of the spool and breaks with no visible backlash. I had that all the time with Powerpro.

The end-all braid has yet to be invented - little low-load stretch with more at higher loading, abraision resistant, and thin.
