Wow fishign magician i said it once and ill say it again. The real fishermen are the ones who use any legal method they prefer and with any type of equipment at all. Not the ones that go around blabing and preaching how others should be fishing. Also if you beleive everythign you wrote just cuz a person uses braided line personaly i think thats moronic. Do you really aspect me to yank out 40 bucks worth of line out of my real now jsut cuz you say so. . . Dont get my wrong im all open to sugestions but when they all seem to be your perference and are not necessary i think ill stick with my ideas for now.

Floater, why would you have to waste your other line? I personally just take my braided line off my reel and store it on an extra spool once the Fraser is done. There's no need to waste your line, a little common sense goes a long way.

[Floater]

A good point i admit that. But i still yet to hear a good one on why i should take it off. If i ever cut someone lines on this forum or they see me snaging fish or any other thing they feel is unethic i PROMISE ill ago along with the crowd on this line thing.

By the way fishing magician why not go to the grocery store with a hummve or mcdonalds drive through with a ferrari if you can?

[BwiBwi]

Ya, Ferrari through drive through, big impression. Hard to get your order though

By the way the discussion about line strength started with loosing drennan floats, it's main line we're talking about (how not to loose expensive floats) not leaders. So be gentle.

A 30lb tuff line has only 12lb mono diameter. You can hold alot of line on a small spinner (light less fatigue if fishing and hiking all day long) and when fish breaks your leader or you have snag you'll only loose your leader not the 'expensive' part of setup.

But then I think some people just never encounter snags or fish breaking off their leader, or better yet they're rich and can afford to replace their float all the time.

Are you trying to say that too much line on your reel makes you tired?

[BwiBwi]

No too big of a reel makes you tired.

[Rodney]

He is saying...

More line requires bigger spool to hold it.

Bigger spool = Bigger reel

Bigger reel = Heavier reel

Heavier reel = Sore arm

Sore arm = Tired angler

There are two approaches to the same problem, one focuses on the solution, one focuses on the prevention. The solution of snagging up without losing gear is to increase your line strength. The prevention is to recognize the fact that heavier line is unnecessary for the target fish so avoid getting yourself into snagging on the bottom or body parts of a fish other than its mouth in the first place. The prevention allows you to downsize your gear, spend less money on line and terminal tackle.

[BwiBwi]

Ya, and my solution is tough main line. Same lb test braided would take less space than mono = smaller reel = less weight
And not loosing floats.

Leader 15 lb mono. No need to spook fish. and if fishing for trout 4lb leader.

[Rodney]

Bwi Bwi, next time you see me, we'll compare our drift rod and reel setup and see whose is heavier.

[BwiBwi]

Yap we should.
And what you carry in tackle box. I need to lighten up that too.

[Floater]

Oh come on guys too big of a reel are we men or what?

[Floater]

Bwi Bwi, next time you see me, we'll compare our drift rod and reel setup and see whose is heavier.

Your lucky i havent seen you rod i would stalk you wait for you to catch that coho mark down the spot and repeat.

[BwiBwi]

How much does your reel weight? 15lb test 280yards(mono)? Mine is 1.8kg.
