Which line do you use for which presentation
My main reasons for not using it is I don't think it gets me any more bites and even though I don't backlash much I can't afford when one good backlash destroys a spool of flouro. My bait spends far more time in the water with braid on it . more tie in the water is more fish caught.And contrary to what some say it is far easier to remove backlash from braid than any other line.

Sufix 832 50 lb for everything . I only use casting gear.fish neds on it also.yellow braid with last 6 feet markered black. No need for leaders IMHO. I've tried all different lines and keep coming back to this.

Longer Handle On Baitcaster?
Absolutely. Correct Wrong. The handle is linked direct to the pinion. That's like saying stroking a crankshaft changes gear ratios.

What am I looking for in a casting rod that will be used for soft plastics lures (under an ounce) for river smallmouth? Power/action, length, line rating? Price range is anywhere from about 100-220.

Hercules braid opinions
You get snagged you wrap the line around a 1 inch wood dowel and get you lure back.I dont believe bass care about line visibility. 50 lb braid is far more sensitive than any mono and casts better. I haven't tried pro mix.

I've been using braid since the 90s. Sorry if I don't believe that.

12lb braid on a baitcaster is nothing but trouble.i hope you're talking spinning or line diameter.

Lack of options in braid colors
I used neon lime last year in Sufix 832. It hardly faded at all and I had no bleeding. I got some yellow to start trying this year. Guys say it's even better. It also comes in white low vis green blue and camo.I always color the last 6 feet black.

Casting Distance
I've used 20lb braid snd 50 on bait casters. The 20 lb has far more issues and really does not cast further IMHO. I'd rather have less line issues than deal with 20lb. Then again my drags are always tight
