9/23/2011 5:54:00 AMDrag too tight? Line not heavy enough?There shouldn't be any diff. between braid and mono as far as getting the fish in, if your line is strong enough, for kings in the river I'd be using at LEAST 20 lb. test with a leader 5 lbs. lighter so you won't lose a whole lot of line in the river. Good luck! bob r

9/25/2011 11:24:00 PMI use Berkley 17 mono smooth cast as main and 14 lbs Biograde maxima for leaders and I never break.....My knots some times come un done but never break. I have pulled over an 8in round tree on the other side of the river. Its all in the reel you use and how you use it. I see guys landing 18-20 lbs Kings all day on 10 lbs shakespear line.
That Being said anyone who honesly knows what there doing when using braid will not even be noticed, nothing wrong with that. Its the guys that use braid and dont know what they are doing that reep havok on the land and other anglers.
