It doesn't give your lure more action, the fish don't see it as well and don't feel it moving in the water as much.

still catching limits on my 15lb braid with 10lb fluoro tip. I can catch a limit in 30 mins by making them surf. no worries about break offs.

Braid has been important to me as well, 30 lb braid has stitched together the zipper on my float tube so I can get out on the water, I was considering using mono but the fish don't seem to see the braid, rock on


There are no fish in sonic pond EDIT: Except 1 20lb catfish

Fish see braid just fine. That's why so many people use fluro or mono leaders. But if its working for you then there is no reason to change.

for the creek fishing,i usually used 15 lb braid and the other 8 lb line pod,because i don't like use minnow's as like a machine and if the line too light will let the hybrid break off ,but every one has their own favorite,the point is had fun and catch some fish. whip

A few years ago I caught a 8 pound hybrid on 4 pound test. Just make sure you set your drag before you hit the creek. Most of the hybrids I have seen break off do it when the fisherman attempt to lift them from the water. This is a huge no no. I carry a foldable net in my backpack which works great.
