Yes, a stiffer tip does reduce that tendency somewhat .My question is about line choice for single pole jigging/Livescoping (using 10' B&M Gold and 10' Ozark Rods Xtreme).
Thus far I had been using copolymer (mono/fluoro), Sufix Advance, PLine, or Yo-Zuri, and have been pretty happy with it. However, have been reading/seeing on YT a number of people suggesting braid. I do use braid on all of my spinning rods for bass and love it there.
Respooled my two jigging poles with braid, 10# Sufix 832, and tried it out this weekend. I HATED it. Horrible problems with the line constantly tangling, especially around the tip of the pole. It was pretty windy this weekend, and seemed like every time I set the hook, the line would twist around the end of the pole, bad enough to require that I untangle it.
In casting for bass with a spinning rod, the Sufix 832 is great because it is very soft and supple, casts very well. Should I be using something a little stiffer for crappie jigging? What braid do you braid users use, and how is it on the soft/stiff spectrum?
Thanks!
