What pound braid???

[fritz20]

What pound braid do you guys use on your texas rig/jig rods? I am not talking about flippin' sticks just regular medium heavy-heavy rods.

[cmclairday2]

30-50 depending on cover and clarity.

[DOUGMCGEEFTD]

I mostly fish stained water but i use 65lb power pro! Ask ole gun whats it like having a 3-4 lbers flyong at you

[fritz20]

I flip with 65 but I like to go smaller with the smaller rods. I also use these rods for salt and that 65 doesn't cast too far.

[DOUGMCGEEFTD]

Yeah I like over kill!!!!!!!!!

[Gun Runner]

65 # is good , unless your fishin heavy grass like the Cat , then you need to go down to like 50 # because it cuts through the grass better !

[fritz20]

Doug and Gun run the big braid!!

[DOUGMCGEEFTD]

i dont do less than 65! With it you dont need to cut the grass bring it too!!!!!!!!!!!!! Works wells as weedeater string when you out! 59 thats for sissys!

I mean flipping or casting the 50 will get further down in thick grass than 65 !!!!!!!

[DOUGMCGEEFTD]

I can go heavier to get the bait down but when i yank i want the fish coming to me with or without the grass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What rods are you using Doug?

[Gun Runner]

I fish a Falcon Original most of the time . Doug has a bunch of different kinds of rods but most are Falcons . ( Low Riders I think )

I am picking up a new Lowrider tomorrow. They are great rods.

50# Power Pro on Falcon Low Rider and Cara. If you get a good spool, 50# will handle anything you hook.

[Derek B]

I like 30lb for everything... about to start puttin 50 on the jig rod.

[bayouXpress]

30lb for flipping and 50 for my frog setup

[toledo freak]

55# and 70# depending on cover, and i highly recommend diawa samuri braid, not that any of the other's are not good it's just that samuri is that much better,quiter, softer, and better color fast retention

[Cooney]

I use 20 - 30 lb. Power pro on medium heavy G-Loomis rods, those are the ones that I cast or far pitch, I use 65lb power Pro on a Quantum flipping stick for heavy grass.

NOPE ALL CARAS.. I have a couple old castaways that were like 160.00 10 years ago i prefer to any of them. Those are the two i use most but all the rest are caras. Little hint when you break falcon dont tell them you were using braid or they dont want to warranty them.
