I have #65 and #80 braid on all my rods. Don’t need the strength, I want the diameter. The larger diameter is easier to handle, doesn’t dig into the spool and it doesn’t give problems with the old style roller guides.

In the Spring, I’ll top shot some of them with mono to keep the baits a little higher in the water column but have found that shortening up my drops has a similar affect.

I don’t like Ande line. The stuff is too stiff for my liking. I use #60 and #80 Sufix Superior for leaders and running line.

People say that have problems with braid and clips but I’ve never had any problems with that combination. Probably because I use the heavier braids. The advantaged of the clip over rubber is the ability to adjust the tension. I can lighten up the release pressure on clam days and torque them down on the days that it is rough.
