braid all the way. bite detection is better. plus you can use a high breaking strain.i use 60lb breaking strain . as i fish the river and alot of snags. i save alot of lures using 60lb braid. just yank em out of the snags''sometimes straightening the hooks. but hey lures are expensive''lol
you have 20 lures ya say. someway behind me then i have over 200 lol. fockin stupid i know as i tend to use the same half a dozen all the time.
yes them blisters were like plums, when i pulled me socks off and seen em for the first time i shat meself. i couldnt standup the next day when i got outta bed. then our lass got us them compedes'' fockin good them , highly recomended,,lol.
i'd read about them .as had my son who was with me . he said dad shall we try these elder berries that book you got said ya could use em''' chuck a few in loose i said . i'l stick with maggots for now. he loose fed a few then hooked a couple up cast in and bang ''fish. we had used maggots all day and the fish were biting short and shy biting. soon as we both switched to elders we were catching more fish.
if ya find yaself in a swim with a ripe elder berry in it give em ago ''you will catch fish on em.
