Oh Braid Where Have You Been
in the mid 90s i switched to gorilla braid from mono. holy crap what a difference!!! there was a slight learning curve with knots and when to set the hook but other than that i had no issues. I loved the sensiticity and lack of stetch from the moment i first tried it. i have since been through fireline, spiderwire, suffix, cortland, and some others i forget. my favorite was and still is Power Pro original. that being said you will find seaguar flouro in abrazx, invisx, and red label on all my baitcasters except one. my heavy jig rod has Power Pro on it as do all of my spinning rigs save my trout rod lol

- Tube Fishing

Tube Fishing
I fish tubes all the time... I usually have a texas rigged one or a jig head rigged one tied on one of my rigs all the time. I do best with them in late spring and early summer but they produce all season, especially on pr, pressured fish. lastly if I miss one on structure with a spinnerbait, square bill, or creature I will almost always toss a tube right back in there. more often than not ill hook up on that return cast with the tube

Knots For Braid...
braid to terminal = palamar braid to leader = albright I have dealt with tarpon up to 150lbs on both combos so I doubt I a bass will beat it. however, with light braid go with a double palamar knot to terminal tackle without a leader

Pitching & Flipping Beaver Baits - How Do You Rig?
I almost always texas rig my beavers with a gammi or laser sharp wide gap. usually a 3/0. bullets depends on structure and depth. sometimes however I go with a weighted swimbait hook around trees and docks. actually I always have one rigged just not always tied on. the swin bait hook works great on most creature bait to provide a "glide in" approach
