I was having the same problem last year but i was using 30# stealth braid im going to 65# power pro and using a mono leader.. but Catchinghogs brought up a great point... Braid will sheer easier in the rocks so mabe mono is the way to go with a higher pound test .. not totaly sure yet but im going to try the 65# breai with a 60# mono leader this year and il let ya know.I have a question for you guys,I lose some fish on the rock edges when shore fishing the MON.I use 30# mono, do you think a switch to a braid would help ? There is a down side to braided line, if you get snagged up forget it.
I run braided..on my catrod but before it..like you said I lost a couple fish from line breaks. Since braided line and I got together the only way they get away is if I dont sink that hook right! Also I perosnally havent had more or less problems with snagging up..and cutting the line means that you get to go buy more STUFF! WIN WIN in my mind..lolI have a question for you guys,I lose some fish on the rock edges when shore fishing the MON.I use 30# mono, do you think a switch to a braid would help ?
