Excellent stringer today! Braid is the only way to go in my book. Good choice and good results obviously.

good job nice pics!

Great work! All the braid nay-sayers either haven't tried it or haven't given it enough time to get used to. Mono is like fishing with a rubber band!

ttuwader and i went and waded a couple of coves this morning and strung 4 trout and had a few throwbacks. the bite was short then the wind picked up. i had to work so we had to be in by noon so we quit early. nice morning though. all trout were on dayglo corkies.

i have braid on my topwater rig with a mono leader. do you guys use a mono leader or go straight to the bait?
and all the talk about never getting the backlash out of braid.

i'm king of the rat's nest fixers!
