Swimming Jig Mono Or Braid?

Featured Replies

  • Super User

Would you fish a braided line or Mono for swimming a jig? I want to swim smaller jigs up to 1/4 oz. But I am not sure what line to use. I will fish them around pads and over weed beds, weed lines , docks ect. 8-) ;)

Thanks  :-/

The two people that shared the most with me about swimming jigs (both fishing the same water, cover, etc) had exact opposite approaches here.  One is absolutely nothing but 15# Big Game green, and the other is 30/8 PowerPro.  Monsoor says he uses 15 pound test Big Game also, with 12# Flouro depending on the water.  Can't get the opinion of much higher authority than that.  I use the braid myself with a very light drag on a 6'6" HMG MH Fenwick.  I seem to do better with the vegetation with braid.  Visit some of the maker's webs for some info.  Especially http://www.brovarneybaits.com/  scroll down the left for tips.  Think you'll find some help there.
