Braid fishing line.

it is mind boggling the leaps/bounds the fishing line industry has taken.

i grew up on Trilene XT or something like that. 10lb mono. i kinda stopped fishing when Spiderwire (spiderline?) showed up. i remember trying some and a snagged lure is a nightmare.

now? mind blown! i lost some bass lately with my self declared vow to stay with 4-lb mono on a tiny spin caster. i spooled up with 10lb yellow high-vis braid and did a 6lb flouro top-shot to hide the presentation. i'll try it tomorrow if i can get out of work.

yesterday, a buddy thru open a box and offered me all his baitcasters. i took two. he switched to a lefty reels and never looked back. i ended up with some md range LEWS reels. now to figure out how to line them.

any suggestions? LEWs reels have a tiny line capacity. 12lb/120 yards.
