Braid float time

[Ketchn]

Back when I fished mono , it drove me crazy with the memory, those coils act as shock absorbers.
To combat this , I would stretch my line often. Hook it to something , and pull it very tight , hold this for about half a minute,
Release the tension , If the line lays flat , it is good to go. repeat as needed.

we stretch out our mono every visit to the water , usually first drop .....just saying ....

I miss a lot of fish when I use mono. That is not to say mono is bad. I fish braid almost exclusively. A solid hookset with braid is lack luster at best with mono. On the flip side. When I get used to mono and adjust my hookset accordingly. Those first few fish on braid come close to having and out of body experience. Flying fish for sure.
