![]() You are correct, RMB, very tasty G, switched out my surf rods to braid, not sure of it yet, but when it gets hit, it sounds like an outrigger going off |

Now that looks good!!!
Braid for the surf? I wasn't to sure about that, because when I fish I use braid for all my bottom fish, fluke, blacks, porgy's, stripers and Blues I use fluro, but I don't fish off the surf. When we get to the spot I do a little cast to get the line wet and sometimes it backs up and it's almost impossible to get the nest out. It seems to be working for and you know the old saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Go get em!!!

I went to braid on all my rods about 2-3 years ago. Love it. Especially on my downrigger rods.

One of the best tasting fish is the Black fish!!!!
![]() Like I said, I only use braid for bottom fishing, you can feel everything. I feel I need the give - stretch of mono when I fish for Stripers, Weaks and Blues. That's just me and what the hell do I know??? ![]() BE SAFE!!!
