Braid Cranking

Featured Replies

Anybody use braid on their MH/ MF action crankbait rods?

Only on spinning and I use a glass rod. I have been known to throw traps with braid on casting gear cause it rips grass way easier.

I do all my cranking with braid and love it!

Tried mono and FC and went right back to braid.

Yes. Any other questions?

In a word, YES.  Now ask me when and why.

Yes I switched to braid this year for my shallow and lipless crank setup and will never go back. So much more sensitive with braid not scared to rip it out of grass/weed. With braid I just feel more in control or know what's going on. My rod should pin the bass on the hook.....or I hope lol. I haven't notice any less hook up/landing ratio with braids but to be honest I crank only 20% of my fishing time.

When and why Papa Joe?

I love cranking with braid because it is on another level of sensitivity, you can feel everything! it is awesome when you can feel the slightest bit of grass on your lure, not to mention the thin diameter of braid while still having great strength.

I like braid when I'm around heavy grass using a squarebill or lipless crank.

Even on a S Glass rod?

I recently tried mono and I hated it for cranking. Not enough feel for me.

I tried braid, then tried going back.

I can't. Braid just has too many advantages and leaders are easy to tie, when needed.

Braid here also for three years now. Did use mono before, but like the braid so much more. Hookup ratio much better for me also.

Gonna have to get used to casting the braid on this rod its got a nice moderate fast tip, so it can really fling these cranks.
