How many use straight braid exclusively?
I've used other lines and fished with plenty of good fishermen over the years. Based on my observations I think I'm going to spend my years from 65 up fishing nothing but braid. I've done it plenty of times and then someone says you won't catch fish on hard days. Well with over 30 years comparing braid and flouro I've come to the conclusion it doesn't matter. Bad days were bad days no matter which line I put in the water.so my conclusion is my Golden years will be spent using nothing but braid so I have less to worry about. And with the edition of No Fade Braids all the bs with markers is done with. Braid just fits me best.

Why is 50lb braid ridiculous? On a spinning rod yes but on a baitcasting rod NO !!!!! You have a lot to learn if that's what you meant.

get a 10 inch long 1 inch diameter wood dowel and wrap your braid around it and pull. problem solved. i use a 10 inch so i can put both hands on it to pull. either way its the best way to go

Bass Rod Uses for different power/length
Have to set hook hard with jig on short rod.suggest 50 lb Vicious no Fade Braid

Bass Rod Uses for different power/length
That makes more sense. The 2 heavy rods would be worm rods. The shorter one is more accurate casts. The 5-6 I assume has a pistol grip ? Good for close quarter spinnerbaits

Bass Rod Uses for different power/length
Never heard of a 5-6 heavy falcon bionic blade. The most I've heard of is mh and a bionic blade is a bass pro shop rod. .

barometric pressure
Right before a thunderstorm fish go wild. After the front goes through and pressure drops they shut off. I've seen it plenty of times.

Loose mono on baitcaster?
There is no way mono is easier to cast than braid . The loose line is an almost backlash. It will take your thumb or more spool tension or brake. Either that or go back to braid.

Brand new reel not running smoothly after first day
It really makes no sense and should void the warranty. Why didn't you just warranty it ?
