Putting my black 706 back on my 12' surf rod and was thinking of putting 10-15# braid on it with a 50-100' top-shot of 20-30# mono(for the high ounces). I'm thinking the braid will fly further. I currently have 300yds 20# mono on it. Any reason I should not use braid surfing?
There is a reason you should investigate further before putting braid on a 706. Braid can cut a groove in older line rollers. There is a reason newer rods and reels advertise that they are "braid-friendly."
Exactly why I posted, thanks!Quote:

Learn a good knot that will go thru those guides easily.
Just sayin...
Just don't have your drag too loose and you'll be alright.Quote:

Double uni should work ok right? Never done it with braid but works fine with mono. I believe the braid requires one more twist than the mono does.Quote:
