When you say to load your reel with 10 lb braid is it the actual 10 lb which has a diameter of 6 or 8 lb or use a 20 which has a diameter of 10lb mono?
Yes, we were referring to using a 10 lb braid… it’ll enable you to have plenty of strength to handle most inshore fish while being able to cast very far (a casting test showed the 10 lb braid casting about 20% farther than 20 lb braid).
Thank you for clarifying have a great day.
Just this past weekend I put 10lb braid on a reel I’ve used 15lb braid on for years and I was blown away at how much further and more accurate my 10lb braid casts are. I should have done this years ago and probably wouldn’t have tried it if I hadn’t seen you guys rigging this way. Thanks for all the tips!
Good stuff, Michael! Definitely a game-changer. Thank you for sharing.
Didn’t listen to the podcast but read what you consider the 3 mistakes are and I can tell you I don’t do 2 of them and do the other I do have very good quality euipment and know how to use them the right way im not good with live bait and only use artificials but I always have a plan of action to use when I get on the water that I made up the day or 2 prior to going and generally meaning at least 95 to 98 percent of the time I catch fish maybe not a whole lot but not stinking skunked unless a storm or some other freak of weather or nature decides to intrude on my plan just saying thanks for the info and all you do 😉👍
This information would & hopefully WILL, put the PUZZLE together for a lot of folks fellas. This might be the BEST ( that’s a compliment ) podcast you have ever done as far as giving clear & concise facts for so many that are just overwhelmed with foggy ideas gleamed from so many sources. Thanks for providing field proven FACTS that WORK !!!!
Joe & Luke…I’ve been using 8# J-Braid in the OBX sounds and surf for several years. The largest fish in the surf was a 34″ drum (red fish) while targeting speckled trout. With a good rod and a decent reel with the drag set properly you can land large fish on 8# braid. Before going up to 8#, I used 4# Fireline exclusively for fishing in the sound. My biggest citation trout, 27″, was caught on this line. But a large drum broke me off so I upped my line to 8#. You are so right that the rod makes all the difference in catching and fighting fish. I’m looking forward to being notified when my Slot Machine is available!
