Braided Line

[Kwasham]

I was fighting what might have been my PB largemouth on a buzzbait when she wrapped me around a metal pole and my 15lb florocarbon line broke. I have heard that braid can be less prone to breaking around dock pilings and such. Do any of you use braided line on baitcasting equipment on Yadkin lakes? I have been reluctant to use it on my buzzbait setup because I also use it for some moving baits like spinner/chatterbaits.

Don't fish Yadkin Lake but anytime I'm throwing a buzzer its with straight braid no leader.

I agree. On the rivers down east i have 2 rods rigged with coated braid line (40-50 lb) for fishing buzz baits and top water around heavy cover like lay downs, thick matts, pads, etc. never lost a bait because the line broke.

Fluorocarbon around wood and braid around grass... Braid will bite into wood and break you off. Fluorocarbon will not cut into wood. And braid slices through grass with ease. You'll also lose less fish on a buzzbait with fluorocarbon. At least in my experience.

Always braid on buzz bait, no leader... from Kerr to the rivers... same rod, same line...

I like braid for a buzzbait but I also throw it on a medium rod,and no leader.

no reason to not use braid with buzz bait as well as frogs...……….I try to always use it with a 7 ft + medium rod is gives just enough the it stays hooked up and less likely to tear a fish off

Braid is less abrasion resistant to rock and concrete than mono or floro, I imagine rusty metal would probably hurt it too.
