Re: Braid for hard jerkbaits?

I would not consider using anything else but braid, and always with about a rod length of flourocarbon. The Flouro hardly shows up once it's in the water and also gives be a bit of shock absorber to nil stretch in the braid. We fish a lot of snaggy places in Australia, and braid is too easily cut by sharp things like barnacles. So flouro is the way to go. There are a number of good knots you can use, but generally I stay with an improved Albright or a back to back Uni on lighter braid/flouro. I reckon I can cast further and get better hook sets with braid.
