Since Carolina rigs= long casts I like braid for the main line due to 0 stretch... www.kistlerrods.com www.dfwbassmasters.com

I'm thinking of going back to mono for some stretch and floating ability. You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life you�re living. No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.
