Never used braid before, all my life 100% mono.
Feels like I need to try it now for sure

sx. i like the smaller size. line capacity can be averted with spectra. i fish 200yd 65# spectra with about 10yd 20# fluoro. neither of these have much stretch to them but i make that up by using extremely parabolic rods. i usually keep my drags a bit light because of the stupid leverdrag system on the lower model avets have no guard to prevent you from smashing it into "full" when you're excited.

I was the same way. Do yourself a favor. Only reel I don't use braid is my jig setup.
