I just purchased a used Diawa Exceler that already had Spiderwire Ultracast Flouro-Braid 30# test on it. This is my first decent baitcast reel and I've been learning how to use a baitcast reel with this setup. I practice everyday in the pond behind my house and yesterday I was casting far and accurately, at will, with no backlashes. I was really pleased, and if you have seen any of my previous threads, I'm new to all this.

I have actually caught a couple of small bass with different lures just casting from shore. When I start going out on my boat though, and getting into bass fishing more, I'm wondering what type of applications this braided line is best for?

It's best used to fish lilly pads and grass plus when you're fishing deep with a c-rig. Not so effecient when your fishing rocky area's.

I usually use braided line for jigs and soft plastics. I like 20# for spinning and 30# for baitcasting. I have spool of 50# that I am waiting to try on one of my baitcasters when I need a line change as well. Although it does fray and cut easily in rocks I still use it in rocky areas, I just tie on a few feet of mono leader. A lot of guys use fluoro for a leader instead, and I just bought some to try as leader material this weekend so we'll see how that goes.

I use the superlines for all applications except lipped crankbaits.

I don't have any rocks where I fish. Is there an application where you would definetly NOT use the braided line?

No.

No.

Most Braids has a tendency to floats, some braid sinks but at a far slower rate then mono and especially floro. There for weightless plastic may not descend at a desirable rate using just braid .

i use braid for everything.i use it in the same diameter as i would use a mono line. this keeps all your lures running at the same depths as you are used to.50/12 is minimum imho on a baitcaster and i use 6/20 on a spinning rod.i have changed from fireline braid to sufix 832 0n the spinning rod for two reasons.the first is fireline braid is not 8 strand until you hit 30 lb test and i wanted 20 lb.the second is the sufix slowly sinks.the sufix 832 is the most sensitive line i have ever used bar none.

Thanks. I think I like the braid so far.

Remember, even if u sever half of the individual threads in a braid, it is still twice as strong as mono of the same diameter (most braid is 3-4x stronger than mono of equal diameter). Braid is fine even in rocks. Just be sure to scrutinize the 1st few feet of your line and your knot often. I did this anyway, no matter what type of structure I was fishing, long before I started using braid.
