Gene, there are a lot of good points on here. Braid is the way to go in the thickest of cover where visibility is limited. That said, a good fluorocarbon will outfish braid in more applications than braid will flourocarbon. I have proven this over and over with friends in the boat on Falcon and I can say with great certainty when people were throwing in the same 20x20 section as me and I have 35+ pounds in the boat and they have an average sized fish or 2 with braid I hand them a rod with flour and it's game on. If you are trying to save money cause you are on a budget go with braid. If you want to catch more fish over your lifetime go with flouro. If I were going to go broad I would follow Lee's advice with the flouro leader.

If you use the leader then what is the difference ? I think it is highly unlikely that a fish is going to swim up the line and say hey lookie here, he is trying to fool me, he really is using braid, lol. I use a 6-8 foot leader depending on rod length.

Spooled up with spider wire 50# ultra cast Ultimate - Braid,Casting a 4" Lake Fork Live Magic shad on a 5/0 Flashy swimmer hook. First cast was great, but after that the line was hanging up on the reel spool. after 20 or so cast the line broke 40' from the lure.This is the worst I have ever seen this problem. It usually happens with new line and a 1 oz c/rig.Is there any way to limit this problem,is it a line or installation probl
em?

not sure why you quoted me as I said follow's Lee's advice. Personally I don't like the idea of adding an unnecessary knot in my line. I'm sure those who are adept at knot tying don't sweat it, but I do.
