Richard Gene using braid for Crappie

[billfish3r]

I use 6# braid with 4# fluro leader on my ultralight for 2 reasons:
1. I discovered i could cast the same jig or beetle spin considerably further than with plain mono.
2. The pond I fish has numerous bass in the 3-6# range and I broke off a couple in the snags and stumps where they hang with bream and crappie.
I managed to net a 6# Mudfish with this but it was a hollow victory.
I was using an ultrlight Rapala top water plug and he tore the lip out of it.

I use a similar set up. The braid fluro combo works well.
