    Can you run braid on a baitrunner reel? If so, should I go for a braid that's heavier weight than the mono I would use? (Read somewhere of someone suggesting that). Is braid OK for sliding rigs? Or should I stick to mono? Also, is a 6000 size BR suitable for inshore marks, or should I keep it...
  2. 🎣 THE BASS LURE FORUM
    Hi all, It seems that 20lb seems be the recommended braid strength - is that for test or break strength? I bought braid with a break of 27lb but a test of 10lb so Im unsure if thats fine for bass fishing? Thank you!

    Hi all, I recently purchased an old (fairly stiff) Conoflex beach rod and using with a Daiwa 7HT. I've loaded the 7HT with 30lbs 8x strand jbraid and 60lbs shock leader.

I like the idea of high poundage straight through so there's less to worry about knots and getting weed stuck in top eye Ect ect but have read a lot about if you get snagged you could snap anywhere along...

    As what the title says; when beach fishing using braid (20lb-30lb), do you guys prefer using a heavy braid shockleader or a mono shockleader and why? A lot of people seem to have troubles when using braid mainline and mono leader cos they get crack offs, but surely a braid leader with braid...
