I only use Berkeley big game mono on all my reels. No problems. I bested my PB 3 times this year.
I was raised on mono. Caught my biggest fish on it. Still to this day I prefer it. Out of my 8 baitcasters one is flouro, two are braid, the other 5 are mono usually around 12 to 14lb test. Stren all day, good line and Hella affordable. I buy a couple 2000 yard spools every other year and that's pretty much how I roll it each season.
Same here Big C. I experimented w/braid & flouro, but had issues I never experienced before. Got tired of fighting it and went back to monofilament exclusively. Boom, back to fishing without line issues. Caught my PB last June on mono. Berkeley Big Game, Trilene, or P-line. Its what I’m most comfortable using. I’m an old man. 👍🏼🎣😎
Stren High Impact all day. Still American made too!
@@aaronhiggs Thanks. I’ll give it a try.
Good to hear Stren is still good line. I too have made the decision to use more mono. Went through this past year test driving multiple fluoros due to availability issues. Fluoro's are not equal. There is so much difference between the fluoro's. And none performed like the P-line I was used to. Back in the day when it was either Stren or Trilene there wasn't much difference. Thanks for the recommendation.
Cause all they had was mono
Good to hear some mention of mono. It’s worked for me fine for over 55 years!
Mono IS best. Been fishing for about 35 years, and there's just no comparison when you have the experience of fishing all the products in all different weather conditions and water types. All the other stuff is just marketing to sell you a dream at a much higher price. My favorite mono is Suffix Siege. Also consider Ande, or the old school tried & true lines like trilene & stren. Cajun red is damn near impossible to get now, but it's way underrated. Mono won't freeze solid or break down from cold, saltwater, sun, and wind. Lasts several outings of hard fishing. Has just the right amount of stretch to prevent most break-offs, yet is responsive enough to feel everything on the other end of the line. Finally, it has excellent knot strength, and doesn't tend to cut into itself or buckle under pressure like some other options. Just go mono.
I appreciate your sensibilities. I use pline cxx copolymer filler spool for leader. Works awesome. Great knots, lots of elasticity. Compliments the braid nicely
One of the reasons you are my favorite bass fisherman is because you fish both salt and freshwater. But the main reason you’re my favorite is because you seem like an awesome dude I’d like to fish wit.
I use straight mono. Always has worked for me
I've always used mono, primarily Berkley, usually Trilene XL and occasionally Big Game for flipping and pitching. I was also a big fan of Bagley's Silver Thread line back in the early 90's. Now I mainly use Trilene XL and Sufix mono, ranging from 4 lb. to 17 lb. test. 4-10 lb. test for spinning gear, and 10 lb. test and higher for my baitcasters.
Big game mono 💪
You got right! 👍🏼🎣😎
6 mono on all my spinning , 12 mono on most of my baitcasting, and 20 lb mono on a heavy cover rig. Cheap and easy
Only line failures I have dealt with is flouro, it sucks. More expensive, terrible memory, and it breaks faster than a politician's promise. I have thrown all that trash where it belongs, in the trash. Thanks for sharing the truth, unlike most pros.
Same here. The only line that has frayed on me. One and done.
Mono is great for bank anglers too, tree branches and bushes can ruin floro line and you can get front row seats to flying lures off into oblivion...
Bout time someone told the truth 👍🏾. I noticed that sometime ago. Stripers and salmon get Mono all day.
Thanks for bringing this up. To many folks buy into floro is king. Each type of line has its use. Use it correctly and it'll treat you right.
I tried the others... mono is the way for me... guess I'm stick after 5 decades of using it, lol. I also like the lower cost and I can just redo reels as I want to with no thought to the cost. Flyfishing and cane poles taught me how to play fish without losing them.
Good video, sir - enjoy the saltwater fishing!
I have observed the same differences between mono and fluro. I typically favor and use 20lb for my leader in salty situations too. My choice to switch to fluro is usually more based on what kind of action I need from my lure. Especially with top water where you let some slack in your line like a walk the dog, poppers, or wake baits. Things where a more stiff line will prevent you from catching a front treble hook. My second qualifier for switching between them is water clarity. I primarily fish around Florida flats so a lot of times water depth isn't really a necessary consideration that would enter my mind but you have given me a new perspective to consider!
I've found that especially with paddle tails, that I pull the hook less on fish with mono too. I've observed that fish that I catch with fluro sometimes have much larger holes in their lips than fish that I
catch with mono. There's basically no give aside from what your rod and drag provide with braid/fluro, so a hard fighting fish will have more opportunity to not only rip up their lips, but create a hole big enough for the hook to fall out. Having that mono in there does save them some damage. My ask would be that you keep that observation in the back of your mind and think back on it in a few months and comment if you noticed the same or not.
Also just in case no one has mentioned it the ned rig just as well for trout and reds in cold front scenarios!
Thanks Brian!! Great Video
I’ve always used Flouro but this video definitely influenced me to start throwing mono more often! Great video man and tight lines! -Bryce
I base my line choice on the rod and depth of water for fresh water. For saltwater I’ve always used Ande premium monofilament in all situations. It’s a great line, very few break offs, and handles well on rock jetties.
I’ve noticed that when I get a backlash with flouro, that my line breaks in the middle of my spool. This season I’m going to use all mono for every tactic to see how it holds up.
berkely big game you will love it strong as steel
@@vandos11 I’ve been using the P-Line Flouro clear and CXX
@@JB3_fishing i do use floro for certain baits for me sunline is pretty hard to beat
@@JB3_fishing try the tactical a little more pricey but it’s better trust.
Good stuff B. Lat! 👀 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for the tips my friend!
I love fishing braid to mono on my spinning gear, it lasts so much longer and I feel like I actually get better hooksets because they say flouro has no stretch but anyone who has fished flouro knows that’s not true, but braid on the other hand has no stretch at all so I feel like I get a better hook set especially on long casts. And I like the stretch in the mono because it has a lot of shock absorbency so your not breaking off on your hooksets.
In the 70's my dad spooled up my first bass combo with 12 lb clear/blue Stren. Every time a "better" line came out, I tried it. Co-polymers, Spiderwire, Fireline, fluoro etc. Today, out of a dozen or so reels, I have braid on 2; the rest have clear / blue Stren.
Facts. Most of my reels have stren except some inshore saltwater reels and my tarpon reel ( need capacity more than anything) but all my leaders are good ole Ande leader mono.
Stren is the worst line . Stretchy ... too much memory
@@murphykakeeway not stren High Impact. It’s got way less stretch.
@@aaronhiggs Ande Flouro is number 1
*This was my first time using Braided line and I was happy with the product **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's held up well and I have no complaints. Would buy again.*
Great video!Good info!
I totally agree years ago had a backlash with fluorocarbon in some cold weather and it snapped the line it’s just not as forgiving as mono nor as abrasion resistant no matter what the marketing team says….
I use braid to mono when I’m trowing small swim baits, Jerkbaits, and spy bait on a spinning rod so that I have some give in the line and can still have the cast ability of the braid that helps me land more fish and does the same as having a lot of bend in a crankbait rod
I have been using a braid to a mono leader for a couple of years with no problems .Saves you some money also.I only fish freshwater and use 20lb braid to a 12lb mono leader.
Fishing for reds around docks and rocks I will throw 20lb power pro braid with 30lb Ande’s mono leader material. When fishing open grass flats, I like to throw 10lb braid with 20-30lb mono. It might seem like over kill on the 30lb leader but, if you get into a school of lady fish, they will break off any fluoro leader quite easy. The mono can take alot more abuse. The only time I use fluoro leader is the winter when the water clears up and the water is a bit cooler. Also, mono is way cheaper than fluoro. Fifty yards of Andes mono leader runs about five bucks, where fluoro leader usually starts at about minimum ten dollars for forty yards. When fishing my home lake of Falcon for bass, I like to rig up my swim bait and jig rod with a two-foot leader of 30lb mono. At first, I was skeptical since I was sold on the “superiority” of fluoro but, I’ve used this for several years now and have not had any issue.
I mostly use mono on my spinning rods, mostly because it’s super cheap. However, I think the mono of today is just a different beast compared to the mono of even when I was a kid, mainly due to the chemistry. Todays mono chemically is just so much better compared to what it used to be, it stretches less, is more durable, stronger, and is just a damn good cheap line. I love my 12-15 pound mono man. Yeah it’s stretchy but I very rarely break off and if I need to change my line it’s not a financial burden. I may try braid to mono someday but I dont feel a pressing need to, sensitivity is great but when you’re bit you know it regardless of the line. I love my mono! (I should add for context: I mostly fish from the bank, so trees are my arch nemesis when it comes to line breakage, that and I’m a broke college student so mono being cheap is a big plus)
Great video.
Gamma 8 or 10 --'
Copolomere moss green ! 3,300 yard spools ! Love it very strong ! Good knot strength!! A little expensive! But great line ! Only use braid for flippin with FC sniper sunline leader! 0 problems ! Happy merry brian and family!!🌬🌬
Hi Sir when I do a lot of fishing out in the boat to do salt water fishing & the main line 25 pound monofilament the leaders I use are 50 pound monofilament lines & have caught a 19 1/2 pound Snapper & the rod & reel are Penn & the reel is a 760 Live Liner & has a lever live liner drag as well as a rear knob live liner adjustment to loosen the drag or tighten the drag & I was using 25 lb monofilament main line & had 50 lb monofilament leader & once I got the 50 pound leader on to the reel I knew I had this big Snapper & the reel & rod held up well Fighting this big Snapper & my son Regan used the net to get the fish into the boat & my Penn Rod & the Penn 760 Live Liner Reel & this Rod & Reel is around 9 + years old & still works really well & I've only just serviced the Penn 760 Live Liner Fishing Reel myself last week runs sweet as just like New Kind Regards Peter

Trilene Big Game green all day long for me. It has been a staple of tournament fishermen for a lonngggggg time!! Braid to mono on spinning reels, straight mono on baitcasters.
Wouldn’t a clear monofilament be better? I’m a new fisherman and just bought my first pole setup for bass (Nasci 2500, Shimano Sellus 7.1 med/fast) using a 60mm whopper plopper. I’m wondering which 8/lb test line I should get that has minimal memory. Until I learn how to tie knots with confidence I’ll be running straight monofilament. Question is for creeks/lake… why would someone use a colored line for monofilament? Is it more for the fisherman to see?
Greg, I would give the big game green a try, especially if your only using 8lb test. We use it on some deep clear lakes like Jocasse and keowee with great results , it seems to be like camouflage . The 10ld is a great choice too, very strong. Learn to tie a Palomar knot first , it is simple and has never let me down, always wet the line before you cinch ot and your good to go.
@@CH-xo8ss ok will do. Once I get confident tying knots I’ll probably run braid to fluorocarbon leader. Do you use the Nail Knot to tie braid to leader line? I just got a knot tying took the SAMSFX but I think it’s going to be useless unless I’m tying a leader line… it’s more for fly fishing but it has a cool Zinger line and has line clippers for monofilament. My pole is rated at 1/4-3/4oz lure so I bought a few more just now. The Z man CFL football head and the MegaBass Dark sleeper in 3/4oz. Dark sleeper looks amazing for anytime of day lure but I think if I’m running 8/lb mono it could be the first lure I lose? I have two Whopper’s one in 60mm and the knock-off in 90mm and I definitely don’t want to lose those because the knock-off was still $8. I think the Z-man Football chatter bait might be my best starting point. I want to fish aggressively… meaning casting and retrieving constantly to hone my casting accuracy. I think my pole is too light for a Texas rig setting the hook might be difficult. I’ll definitely look into that knit thanks again, I can’t wait to catch anything… literally a goldfish would be a win for me
Spot on how I fish the salt! I go a little lighter in the winter. Water clears up, fish aren’t quite as spunky, usually have to fish a bit deeper and slower so the fish are getting a good look at the bait. 10lb braid, 12lb fluro or mono. Summer 20lb braid, 20lb leader. Sharks and rays are more prevalent in the summer. The redfish aren’t playing around and I don’t have to finesse the trout.
I hate Flouro, Mono is better. Everyone in the salt water world knows that, Bass guys are always trying to sell you something that you don’t need. Thanks for the honest assessment.
The only worry I'd have about a mono leader is getting a good hookset on redfish particularly. They have some tough cartilage you have to hook through. On the other hand if it does hold up better around docks I'll definitely give it a shot. Can't count how many times a snook or red has broke me off on a dock.. If I'm fishing docks I definitely focus a lot more and pay more attention to my position than I would if I'm just casually casting around.
Copolymer mono for the win! Stuff is cheap and low memory with less stretch than a lot of normal mono. P-line c21 is the bomb for cranking rods and topwater and is like $8.99 for a bulk spool.
P-Line is my fave. Love the flourescent floro coated line.
Love the P-line!!! In a year and a half of use I can count on one hand how many birdsnest or other line issues I have had. I Have only been broke off once and to be honest it had been quite a while since I had checked my line or retied my lure.
Yo-Zuri Hybrid has become my go to line. It's tough as nails.
I love that line! Been fishing it most as a mainline most of the year on my baitcasting setups and have no plans to go back to braid. Really like not having to deal with knots through the guides and it's so much easier to break off from a kayak.
Every so often I will spool up Floro...and I will inevitably replace it with mono. Had to try...
I use braid to mono on my spinning rod and mono on everything else
My go to setup here in South Florida is 30lb braid to 25lb mono. You can catch anything on this setup. Anything from snook and tarpon to largemouth and peacock bass.
30lb braid is overkill for inshore
Awesome! 👌
Come out to the PNW for Salmon 🎬 action!
i use berkley big game and it is a strong strong line
B lat so I should use mono over fluro?? I’m a new angler and caught fish with both
Have you ever tried braid to mono when fishing a Jerkbait? I’m thinking that the mono will help the lure rise a bit in the water column.
I do!
One thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of different formulations of fluoro. Yo-Zuri HD and Seaguar Red are a lot stiffer and harder than blue label, gold label, or something like trik fish
Been fishing in Charlotte Harbor, Florida, for 35 years, use either 20 or 30 # , triple fish saltwater leader, it's a hard coated mono, not the flouro one, it's caught a zillion snook,reds, tarpon over the years, so sad they don't make AN40 copolymer anymore, as. A main line, second choice on leader is trilene xt
I've seen Matt Allen from tacticalbassin talk about this for a while, but always thought he was crazy. Maybe I need to try it myself instead of being stuck in my ways.
Just try it. It’s just fishing line
The only thing fluoro catches well is are fishermen, fluoro is total crap. Pros lie to us all too often about equipment so we waste more of our money on junk that is not good to terrible.
20 lb leader is a little light to be fishing around docks especially for redfish and snook. I use 30 and 40.
I used 20 all the time around docks. You just have to cut and tie more. But for big snook I go 30 pound clear Ande all day.
I have been having great luck with p-Line.
Awesome
I find it hard to believe that a few feet of Floro (as leader) is going to matter as far as keeping the bait lower in the water. When using a mono leader I can’t believe that a few feet of it will override the crankbaits, jerkbait, etc. diving capabilities. Also, when using 6 to 12 ft of mono (as leader) is there really that much stretch? I know that there is when one has a spool full of mono and you are 50+ ft out, but a few feet of leader? I know that is what everybody says, but it just doesn’t ring true to me. And years of bass fishing on the CA Delta hasn’t proved me wrong. So I use braid to mono with a FG knot if the mono has a larger diameter then the braid, otherwise I use the improved Alberto knot.
I still use straight monofilament on my spinning reels I did try braided fishing line for a while. But the thing is that when you spend 25 years of your life only using monofilament you get so proficient with it. That the added benefits of braided line really don't make much of a difference and therefore the cost doesn't outweigh the benefits. because when you use monofilament for so long and get so proficient with it you really don't see a difference in how many fish you catch at the end of the day.
I’ve never liked fluoro. Too expensive, inconsistent between brands and it makes knot tying a nightmare. Maybe I’d appreciate it more if I fished out of a boat 300 days of the year, but I’m a bank angler who fishes a few hour a week and I’ve learned that for me, keeping everything simple is more important than almost anything else.
Straight braid and straight mono hu how good is Ande
You can use straight braid to your lure when fishing for reds, specks or flounder in off color water. They aren’t leader shy at all. Try it next time you’re on a good bite. Switch between the leader and straight braid and see if it makes a difference. We do it all the time on the middle/upper Texas coast where the water stays dirty year round. Clear water and the leader is required. I like watching you learn the salt water. Keep it up.
In clear water reds, trout, and flounder are leader shy
Braid cuts even easier in barnacles and oysters
@@BrianLatimerFishing thats why I use a long mono leader. Keep the braid as far away from the barnacles as possible
@@BrianLatimerFishing 8 strand even moreso than 4
I use braid to mono almost exclusively with nothing but success. I'm not sold on fluorocarbon.
Only if the water is GIN clear will I use fluro. Any other time it’s a waste.
Also just curious if you've ever caught a snook.. if not you're missing out. The occupy the same habitats as reds only fight twice as hard.
Swear to you braid to mono is the way to go about a good 3 foot of mono on the top
What about Fishing the River and would Fluorocarbon be better than Mono for a Texas Rig or Plastics.?? I’ve been just using Braid to a Mono leader but Man I’m new to Bass Fishing.
I use 17# Mono for my square bills cranksbait!
When you going to add saltwater kit to your online shop?
In my opinion braid to mono leader is superior to fluorocarbon, that give in the mono acts as a shock absorber from my experience, I'm a UK freshwater lure fisherman catching perch, Zander, pike, trout etc and a mono leader wins every time.
Interesting feedback about that. On Fluoro as against Mono.
The jury is very much out I've learned in bass angling. About whether or not it's prudent. To try to introduce any extra knots, connections or complexity to one's rig and set up. Than is absolutely necessary. Many believe that the whole notion. Of adding pieces of mono or fluoro to a 'main' braided line. Is a full stop, non-runner for them. And they've all supplied legitimate reasons for thinking in that way. The less unnecessary 'points of failure' that you introduce into tackle. The better it is overall (and these folks generally take that philosophy through all of it). Up to and including. How they remove the fish from the water. And 'land' the fish in the boat. They generally follow that rule. Or not introducing anything. Into their process. Which generates too much potential for failure. I've lost enough of trophy fish myself. Owing to those exact reasons. Those points of failure. And knowing how that hurts (having worked really hard to catch some fish, that were not easy to hook). You generally don't want to leave it to chance. In terms of tackle.
There is one thing. About the fluoro versus monofilament 'leader' tackle debates. That we've known about in fly fishing. More or less. From the start (fly fishing being one of those areas of angling, where 'leaders' were always just a fact of life). There was generally know way around them. And when fluorocarbon material arrived (I changed a lot to fluorocarbon leader material myself around a decade ago). As I just couldn't find a way. To get around the fact that I had smaller diameters. Available to me in fluorocarbon technology. That I could only dream about. On the monofilament side of it (I grew up though fishing clear mono, brown and green colors). And if you didn't think that fly fishing anglers are particular. About the 'color' of their monofilament. Then you wouldn't know what fly anglers are like. It's one of those issues. That divides fly anglers into different 'camps'. You have your hard core green monofilament guys. Your'e brown monofilament (they tend to be 'subsurface' lure anglers like me). And the top water guys, were always green mono. And then in areas like saltwater. You had your clear color monofilament too. When I changed to fluorocarbon. I had to suddenly start taking 'knots' really seriously (monofilament owing to it's elasticity would let you 'get away' with crimes in terms of knot making). That fluorocarbon, just won't let you get away with. What I was aiming to do. Was to construct leaders with a 'profile' (going from thick at the back, to thin at the front). And when I could do that. I could 'step down' my hooks sizes at the front (while still having a thick enough connection to a main line behind). You couldn't do that. To the same extent in monofilament leader making.
That's what I felt I need to chase. At that time. Was I wanted to work down into different kinds of tackle. At the very end of the leader. Hooks sizes that were so small. I never dreamed possible with monofilament. Presentations that were 'life-like' for the first time (because you can have a hook that is connected to a line, that really has less influence on what the bait or lure does). Because you're diameters are so much less. Without sacrificing a lot of 'breaking strength'. The trouble was with fluorocarbon. Is that one hasty, badly tied knot or connection. Could make all of those advantages and benefits. Suddenly disappear. And you were left with a 'break off'. Of a good fish. So I learned that the hard way. The reason though, that lots of other fly fishing anglers. Went back again to monofilament (deciding just to 'live' with the reality of less 'finesse' type presentation). Or ways to fish. Was actually a lot to do with the way. That their line, leader and lure. Lifted off the water. And when it fell back down on the water. The way that you could present baits. With monofilament leaders. Was different to how things worked. With a fluorocarbon leader on (if you took away all of the other advantages and disadvantages of either system). Really, the deal breaker for fly fishing anglers. Was not 'knot' strength, or leader diameter. Or any of those reasons. Especially in the school of guys. Who believed heavily in 'green' monofilament top water leader fishing (or just a small depth underneath the surface). Where they fished.
What they liked with monofilament (and they 'lost' it when they went over to fluorocarbon leaders). They like that bit of stretch and elasticity. That was present. When one had a monofilament leader tied on. A lot of those 'top water' or shallow depth anglers. Who fished with flies. Would hit a certain location in their 'cast'. That was the size of a dinner plate perhaps. On a smaller river. Or the size of a coffee table. In a larger river. They 'knew' from experience. Where their line and their lure. Had to go. And often they would throw multiple casts. Or presentations. At that place. To just put the bait down. In the right way on the water. Where the species of fish they were hunting for. Had lazer like focus on that top water area. That the angler had to place their lure into. What the anglers discovered. Is that with fluorocarbon leaders. The presentation became somewhat 'blunt', or dead (fluorocarbon is one of those materials which doesn't stretch or give a lot). It just put that bait or lure. Down on the top water zone. With less delicacy of presentation. Than with monofilament. And that was the 'deal breaker'. As it turned out. Anglers like myself, who worked more at 'sub-surface' level. Going down several feet at times. Maybe did not care. About that initial presentation (I was more concerned with movement of the lure, in the water column). Than with the initial 'showing' of the bait to the fish. I never mastered 'top water' fishing. In the way that some anglers did. I never developed that sensibility. And at top water level. Strangely, the leader diameter can be a bit on the large size. The fish don't seem to mind. As long as that bait just lands on the water. In a way that sells the 'narrative'. Of being a top water bait. That a fish is going to take. Versus the opposite (they can just as easily 'ignore' top water lures). If it comes into their orbit. In the right way. They will take. That was the difference.
Have you tried this in Florida….
When I'm using braid to leader it's always Mono!!! Tried the braid to flouro and kept popping line on hook sets. Even on casting set ups it's braid to mono, been set up this way the last 4 yrs
How long of a leader and what pound test do you typically use?
@@smoke14PB I’m not sure about Brett but I use 15-10 pound braid with a 8lb lead a little long then the rod I am using for spinning setups
@@smoke14PB on my spinning it just depends on the application. Light with stuff like Ned rigs I'll go 15 braid to nothing less then 8lb leader, Lil heavier applications I like a 20lb braid with 10-12 pound leader. Same as Ryan leader is a Lil longer then the rod I'm using. If I'm re trying more I'll go with Lil longer. On my casting set ups for t rigs and jigs I'll have 30 lb braid with 15-20 pound leader and I'll stop it couple inches before it goes into the real.
I set the hook harder then most tho. More like Gerald Swindle lol
I have no problems with anything as light as 4lb test. Are you using your drag system right? I had mine too tight for over a year before I realized that you need to adjust that to the lb test you are using.
I have reels with all three. They all have their pros and cons. Just know what they do and if it helps what you do.
People say that monofilament has stretch to use carbon filament line or Brad line. I've always used monofilament line with no problem. And they say to use clear line is better than color. I fish for trout in high mountain stream's in northern New Mexico . South Colorado
Braid to Izorline on all my rigs
Berkley big game for me.
20lb braid to 30lb mono is the standard here in Florida inshore saltwater... 20lb mono is ok but big snook are gonna break you off most times... Saltwater fish are less lineshy than bass
I thought florocabon was more abrasion resistant...also, if you get snagged with monofilament, isn't it harder to get unstuck due to its stretch? I thought if you get snagged, you want a line with no stretch so that you get untsnagged...? easier
The context of this scenario is oysters and barnacles.
Berkeley big game 12#. Fish it all day,,, tow your buddy’s boat back to the dock!!! Just learn to tie good knots!!
Yep! It’ll slice your finger off before it breaks haha
Thank you for making the rest of us not feel like morons for using mono!!!!
SunLine Natural Monofilament.
I'm beginning to think braid is over hyped and overpriced.I may be going back to full mono.
Stick to mono. Ande is tried and true and consistently the best mono available.
✌🏻
A high quality copolymer like McCoy or izorline xxx is even better
What about just straight Copolymer...
I switched to full mono. Ftw. I wont ever go back.
I know that dock it's easy to break off there it has some hard coral on bottom also
Bro! Oyster not Oyst-cher 🤪 you makin' me crazy hearing that! 😂
If braid didn't need a leader then I'd throw away all my other line. When will someone come out with an invisible braid from 2 LB +? I've had the most success with braid not flopping off the spool.
10 lb for trout? You must be retying after each fish.. Those little vampire fangs are no joke
Fluorocarbon is wildly overrated to me
Co polymer is the only way to fly! Lol
Cmon cuz yu Making my blood pressure go up talking bout all this salt!!! Gotta watch my cholesterol!! Where da bass fish at!!😂😂😂 cmon cuz!!!!
Braid all day . Mono is for beginners
Lol. Sure mate, sure
@@rameneater1437 says the beginner
there are certain techniques that require mono or a copolymer line rookie
the more I fish the more I know fluoro is a scam. the only time I like it is in 6x and 7x fly fishing tippet.
Eh... No!
I never use mono and never will 😄
Good more fish for us 😁
He's got more BS than a Christmas turkey.
Blah blah blah 🤣😂 Latimer, impersonating a pro bass fisherman.
You're tripping hard AF. Brian has signature rods and baits bro 🤔
