i was told to use mono for a spook because i would loose less fish than with braid. which mono should i use? i tried trylene xl 10# but it doesnt work good at all . it felt like fishing with a rubber band. im using a revo and a fenwick hmg 6-6 med/heavy.  thanks for any suggestions.

 I've used original Stren 12 lb. for a number of years and still like...

                           As Ever,

Dude!

That's a BEAUTIFUL brown fish in your avatar. How much did she weigh?

Regarding line:

Spinning tackle:  #6 Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft

Baitcasting gear: #12 "   "       "        "       "

It's not a big investment, give it a try and see what you think.

I've used green braid both with and without a floro leader for topwaters (murky, vegetation/algae filled lakes). I have been VERY pleased with the results of the braid with floro leader.

Also if you are fishing a spook or another bait with trebles try medium action rods so you have a little more play.
