I started out using braid as a back under mono. I then tried it out on a few baitcasters I use in the bay with the reel filled up and 24" leader of fluoro. Loved it, the no stretch increased sensitivity greatly. The suble bites are not suble any more. I then put braid on my heavier bait rods that I use in LJ. Loved it there too. Kelp cutting, no stretch bootom fishing, great contact with a live bait. I still use straight mono on my jig rods. I might try throwing the surface iron on braid but with a softer rod or a light drag. Mike
