Went out around 1pm yesterday, 3-4 ft waves, saw boats at the SGR. Went there, had 3 other people on board. I used one pole (mine) with 20 lb. test power pro braided with a mono leader, teaser bucktail(with live keeley)and a 4oz spro tipped with a small whole squid and a stinger hook attatched. NE wind, found a spot that we kept drifting over where we got two 19 inchers. Then we hooked up with 2 nice size blues on the fluke rigs. Got several shorts and one baby sea bass. Came in around 6. This is the first time I ever used braided and I loved it. Unbelievable sensitivity- I felt the spro hopping off the bottom, fish bites were so noticeable. With mono, sometimes it was hard to know if you even had a fish on, expecially with 4+ oz. on a 3 way rig. No doubt with the braided, it keeps you way more involved. The other poeple with me generally got less fish. I will change my other lines to braided as well. Any comments about using braided for say jigging or casting metal for blues? How about stripers? Just not sure as to the limitations for braided, maybe its just good for fluking but mono may be better for blues, stripers. Please give me some feedback swith this! Thanks
