best inshore braid

DIRTYFOOT2 · 10-29-2007, 05:25 PM

Looking to respool one of my inshore rods w/ braid. Got crushed a couple times around the docks the last couple weeks. Haven't gone to the braid on my inshore stuff because of the spooky nature of the snook especially. Curious as to what color and brand some of the more seasoned inshore guys like. Thanks in advance.

PS: the reel its going on is a Cabo 40PTS.

GREEN Powerpro or Tuff line 30LB or even 50 if you think you can handle it

3-4 foot of floracarbon with a double uni.

I'm a little scared of the fiddy. Don't want to get snatched over the gunnel or something. I'll leave that big stuff for you big boys.

Hard to beat 10lb power pro... casts a country mile.
I've been using a new braid by Hi-Sea's.... so far it's held up great and haven't had any issue with tangles and win knots.

15lb. power pro hi-vis gets my vote.
