I've been using braid exclusively since I've started pitching n flipping jigs and t-rigs craws etc I fish in a wide array of cover. Boat docks, weed lines, pads, weed clumps, rock piles etc if a fish might be there I'm throwing at it, I've had little to no break offs using the braid but I wonder if I'm missing any strikes because of the high visibility line.. I won't punch mats without braid , what other pieces of cover would flouro be a bad idea for?

Thanks, Don

Braid for everywhere except rocks. Even then it's still braid with a fluorocarbon leader.

Flippin' and pitchin' you're mostly looking for a reaction bite. In rocks and zebra mussles, add a leader as suggested.

why is it that most of the pros on tour swear by 100% fluro unless punching mats or fishing in extreme cover? im not doubting your advice im just curious

Floro transmits vibrations on a slack line whereas braid does not, meaning you can feel a fish hit a bait on the fall with floro whereas you cant with braid if there is slack to allow the bait to sink vertically. I prefer straight floro for flipping and pitching, with the exception of punching. 20lb Invizx to be exact.

I prefer fluoro for everything except the nastiest of nasty. I pitch almost everything on 20lb Tatsu. It's a preference thing.

thats what i was looking for gents, thanks a bunch!
