Using mono

Sun, 2007-12-16 11:32

Dean,i use braided line on all my bottom bouncing gear i would never use mono, but my neighbor has only just started fishing with me out deep and likes to use his gear.I had a rod and reel loaded with braid for him but he insisted using his marlin gear.

Your personal attack against my neighbour is a little tooo strong he may get offended and the fish is not a swallow tail, maybe you have swallow on the mind
