Anyone Crank With Braid? No Leader
i fish 50 lb sufix 832 for cranks on a graphite rod with a soft tip.i have no problem pulling hooks.loosen your drag and don't horse the fish just keep pressure on them.i fish over rocks all the time and have no abrasion problems.just retie when needed.you have to do this with other lines also.
