Yup. I never use braid when fishing topwaters. some may feel differently,
but I like having a little stretch in the line when I set the hook. I found
my hook ups increased when I stopped using braid on topwater baits. I just
feel that with the no stretch braid that I might have been just ripping it
out. Again it's just my opinion and may just be a confidence thing with me.


Randy,
I noticed the opposite. When using topwaters with braid (PowerPro) I
hold the rod almost vertically and I don't have to set the hook. The
fish set it for me. Works pretty good actually.

Just wondering . . . I'm spooling reels for the season and I was thinking
of spooling my buzzbait reel with braided line. My thinking is (I've been
so told) that braided line sinks slower and of course have no stretch, so
it would be a good line to use. Has anyone any thoughts pro or con with
regards to using braided for buzzbaits? Thanks in advance guys and gals
