I back my reels with Mono regardless of the line I am using... with braid, you have to, or it will spin on the spool... did that first time I used braid with a spinning rod... couldn't figure out what broke on the reel... DOH!

I got my Samurai Braid today. I can't belive how thin the line is. 150 yard spool looks like 15 foot of regular line. Should I have gotten a heavier line? I got the 15 pounds test because I usually use like 8 pound test of regular line. But this stuff is so thin I think I shoulda went alot heavier. Was wondering what u guys usually use. Thx alot
This stuff is thinner than freakin dental floss lol

I use the 15 and the 30. It is incredible how durable even the 15 is. I use the 30 when fishing real heavy cover or weeds. Wait until you see how far your first cast goes. The line sails of the reel. Make sure you put enough backing on the reel. The braid does not take up much on the spool. Make sure you post pics of the first fish you catch with the braid.

I know you would use braid for heavy cover and such on a baitcast or spinner but what kind of pole would you use for such.I figure most guys who can afford it would have a pole for just such use and was wondering what that would be.

This stuff is thinner than freakin dental floss lol BTwizy... We posted a chart earlier in this post... you should have gone with the 40 lb test (That's about 8lb mono equivelent) Sorry we didn't catch this sooner.
