Higher strength-to-diameter ratio pound for pound, braid is much thinner than mono or fluorocarbon, letting you spool more line and cast farther Zero stretch direct connection from rod tip to hook improves bite detection and hook-setting power at any distance Superior sensitivity feel bottom composition, subtle bites, and even line contact with structure that mono or fluoro would mask Longer lifespan quality braid lasts 13 seasons compared to monos single-season life, making it cost-effective over time Abrasion resistance in heavy cover braid cuts through grass and resists fraying on rocks, docks, and laydowns better than mono No memory braid doesnt coil off the spool, which reduces wind knots on spinning reels and improves casting performance in cold weather 4-Strand vs
I prefer 15-lb braid because Ive found that 10-lb braid does not cast that much further and it gives you no room for error
I stood next to Nick Hart and we caught decent bass one after the other, but it wasnt until we were forced off the rock and sat around kinda dumbstruck by the fishing we had just experienced that I realised Nick had been using a Silent Skimmer, and there was no difference in size or amount of bass that either of us had just caught
One more thing, The links above and below in this post are affiliate links were you can pick up baits, rods, reels, line, and anything else I use to Krak some bass fishing jigs
Braid cuts through vegetation and gives you the direct connection needed to set hooks hard and land fish quickly
Throwing lures, baits on Carolina rigs, fly-lining live bait from a kayak, bottom fishing offshore from a kayak, shark fishing from the surf, everything for me Ill use a spinning reel
