Hey guys,
So while fishing for panfish and crappie, there is pickerel in the area as well. This past weekend I had one cut my line, so I was thinking about going to braid. What should I do in terms of line? Should I just stick with mono or should I goto a braid like 10# (2# mono equ. ) PowerPro?
This is going to be on a 6" panfish setup using the Pflueger President reel.
It doesn’t matter what you go with....you get one of them on your line is probably going to get cut.

I thought braid was the ultimate abrasion resistant line, no?
"No" is right. Braid is the least abrasion-resistant line. That's why all the saltwater guys who use braid always use a mono or fluoro leader.Quote:
