Ultimate Guide to Braid Line Fishing

For a long time the use of braided main line really interested me and just over a year ago I began to use it for the first time - a decision I certainly don’t regret.

For years I have used monofilament or fluorocarbon main lines, and braid is very different to them both. The most noticeable difference is that braid has absolutely no stretch whatsoever. It’s extremely tough and at the same time, it’s far suppler than anything else. As far as I’m concerned, I couldn’t want for more than that.

A few quick casts enabled me to locate a spot from the autumn and eight hours later this chunky character slipped up.

I’ve always been very meticulous when it comes to my spot finding; if I’m going to fish an area then I like to map it out extensively with the marker rod. Since the introduction of the bank stick trick and logging distances, I like to make sure that I do my exploratory work early on, ensuring that it’s done properly and therefore I don’t need to do it again. Re-mapping the spot every time you’re in the swim makes no sense to me. The braid enables me to ensure that I am fishing exactly where I want to in relation to the feature. Once the work has been done with the marker float, which is used primarily for registering the depth, I can position a rig perfectly using the actual fishing rods.
