Bottom fishing

[Curapa]

I use braid on all of my bottom fishing rods, it has many benefits. You can get away with less weight and hold more line to name a couple. As long as you control the speed in which you drop it to the bottom you can avoid most tangles.

I have 65lb power pro on my reels with no backing. The reels I use are either made for braid or I wrap the spools with some electrical tape. The braid goes to the swivel and under that I use a fluoro leader in various lengths and size depending on what I am fishing for.
