:D...thanks needed that ;D
Last month went on a salmon charter boat off of Marin. Slow day to be sure, but the one thing I learned that day was braid makes a difference. We were using dog whistle releases with 2.5 pound weights in 40-60 feet of water, 60 pulls out. I use 30# braind on my surfmaster 100. 16 guys on the boat, I am the only one using Braid, everyone else has heavy mono of evedry shape and color. As we are trolling I notice that every rod with mono is trolling with much more "drag " on their lines than my braid is. Braid is almost, but not quite straight down. I chalk that up to smaller diameter=less resistance in the water, which got it down to depth it needed to be at. Results= 6 fish were caught that day. Only one rod reel got two, my surfmaster with braid. I would of claimed both but GF went with me, and she could not handle the Jigmaster Back up I brought for her to use, so I loaned it to her and she caught her first salmon on it. She then went off to chat in the cabin for the rest of the day when I scored fish #2.
I think that this thread could have been titled "Before there was mono" just as accurately.
