[quote Huntsman]RAT, you've gotta be a "GOMMER", using an Ugly Stick, with an Ambas
or 6500, and 40 lb Stren....because your "ignorance" is so blatant....!!!!!!
Come "play" a day with me, and my 20lb braid....and i promise to "spank you" with a "lesson"...!!!!!
To come on a public forum, and act all "experienced", give those of us who land more salmon in a season, than you'll see in your life, cracks us up.....!!!
For those questioning the use of braided line.....GO FOR IT, but remember, it's a "high-performance" piece of equipment. Watch it for fraying, re-tie your knots after a snag, or fighting a fish, and it'll make you a believer....
What!!!!! RAT, you don't re-tie after a snag up, or a hook up, and I doubt that those "hook-ups" happen very often...."
Not only does the braid stretch less than the 30-40% stretch ratio of mono! but "when" you break off, it's with 30-40% less line....!!!![/quote]
First of all "Gomer" is spelled with one M, surprised you haven't read your birth certificate for the correct spelling.
Second, before you go off on an all out holier than thou rant on a personal level you should realize who you are talking too. My fishing ability and resume stands on experience, a lot of experience, both as a guide and as a fisherman.
There is a time and place for braid just as there is for mono. When you have been on the net end of over 10,000 salmon I would expect you to learn those situational differences, until then go forth and fish.
Braid is NOT the end all be all of line. In tight quarters fishing with short casts I prefer mono for it's shock absorption ability, less pulled hooks, less bent out hooks, less stress on rods, more manageable in tangles, easier and quicker to retie, and the best part fewer lost fish. Braid doesn't offer those qualities in tight fishing situations. It does offer a way to foul a hole with a nearly impossible to remove streamer when you break it off, zero shock absorption qualities, and more lost fish from pulled and bent hooks.
It is all situational and that is based on the heavy flow, tight quarters fishing on the Little Salmon. Other situations dictate other rigging's, and that is why I have reels spooled with both mono and braid. They both have their place, you just have to be smart enough to know where that is.[

P.S. No thanks on the invite, I'd hate to embarrass my host.
