| I've been using 20lb braid (PowerPro) on an OA Bender slow jigging rod. I need to replace the braid. Thinking about 15lb as not sure there is any benefit to heavier braid as the rod is so light. Having said that, I do get in to some big fish and a bit extra on my side is always nice! Any thoughts? |
