I'm thinking of putting braid on a couple of my spinning reels a 5000SS Penn for inshore trout and reds and a older Penn 704 for Kings, and perhaps jigging for blackfin. I've never used braided linebefore and would welcome advice on type and line size for the two outfits ?? Thanks!

I use Power Pro, however I am told that Sufix braid is rounder smoother and casts farther. I am going to try that next.

Anywhere from 10# to 20# is what I use.

berkley ultracast.....smoothest casting braidI have ever tried. I use 10# ultracast-invisibraid with a 20# fluorocarbon (yo-zuri dissapearing pink) leader. If you will scan the inshore section, there are several posts on braid...types and knots :letsdrink

Put a couple of #64 rubber bands on the bottom of the spool before filling, fill up to about 90% of normal, this helps to reduce throwing a backlash. make sure the line it tight, i have had braid slip on my reels like line leaving drag but the spool remains still. I love braid and have it on ALL of my reels, it is cheaper to when you consider that I had to change mono weekly and still have graid from 2 years ago, my 706's have 50lb braid, for a pier I would use 40lb and a 20yard topshot. Circle hooks don't do well with braid either unless you have a long topshot. Make sure your knot is slim too, as sometimes the knot will throw a loop around your first guide andsend your baitscreaming back at ya...good luck, i also like to use yellow or chartruse so I can get a better visual.

Can someone explain what a topshot is and what it does.....sounds like a newbee question but in all the years that I have been fishing I have never heard of a topshot.
