Mono holds knots better and costs less than braid. It also works better on smaller bait-casting reels because light braid can dig into itself.

Is braid or fluorocarbon better for Baitcasters?

Braid is the best line for baitcaster because it has virtually zero memory. Hold it up, and you’ll notice that it’s very soft and malleable (so to speak) and doesn’t hold a particular shape. And if it does, you can reshape it fairly easily and quickly.

Is 20 lb braid good for Baitcaster?

Thin diameter line is great for spinning reels, but if you’re using baitcasting reels, you don’t want to use anything under 20 lb. braid. If the line is really thin, it’ll dig into the spool if you have a big fish on or get snagged, which can cause knots and tangles.

Is 10 lb line good for bass?

Beginner Bass Fishing Rods, Reels, & Line To start, try spooling 6-10lb monofilament or fluorocarbon to your spinning combo.

When should I use fluorocarbon on a baitcaster?

Fluorocarbon has become more and more important in using larger lines when fishing for bigger bass and around cover without fear of losing them. You get more sensitivity and more abrasion resistance without compromising on invisibility. The tradeoff is the fluorocarbon line can be stiffer than other line types.

Is braid or mono better for bass?

For bass anglers who spend hours a day casting, braid is the best route to take. Now I recommend a monofilament leader because most bass fishing is in and around cover. Braid is very vulnerable to abrasion but a foot of mono as a leader is perfect.
