I am about to try nanofil (Google for info); it's not cheap but is supposed to be like braid in the strength vs diameter department but more like mono in handling/knotting/visibility.
Im still kind of new to spec'n gear out lol I think the drag rating is 8-12lb. I have pulled in some 10-15lb cats on 12lb mono but i dont know the name of it lol.What's the drag rating? Probably in the 8-10lb drag range so not going to be much of a catfish/pier reel. OK for maybe catching spot but accidently hook a drum or something with some butt and you're smoked. If you insist on using it toss some 20lb braid on it so you can get what you catch up on the pier. I like powerpro.
Its all good, braid just seems to give me a fit lol. Referring to your other post, I have never caught anything over 6lbs off a pier. I must not be going out far enough.Berkley big game is fine for the price. I see now you had said no braid.
More about choice of rig and bait. Plenty of big fish between and inside the sand bars as well as at the end of the pier.Its all good, braid just seems to give me a fit lol. Referring to your other post, I have never caught anything over 6lbs off a pier. I must not be going out far enough.
I spooled up this morning. One thing I had wrong is knotting; you have to learn a special knot for best results. This stuff is slicker than owl snot...I am about to try nanofil (Google for info); it's not cheap but is supposed to be like braid in the strength vs diameter department but more like mono in handling/knotting/visibility.
