Anyone use straight braid for everything? 2024
clemsondds reply :
Just curious if anyone has switched to straight braid for all appliances with no leader. I love braid and hate tying leaders and hearing the knot go through the guides. Would love to switch but feel like braid is still too visible, but I don’t have any evidence of this. Anyone try it? And noticeable difference? Thanks
MN Fisher reply :
Dunno about evidence to refute and I only run braid on two rigs, Fuego-XS 50# Green Power Pro and President 20# Green Power Pro, and I don't do leaders. Best of the year (my profile pic) was caught on a spinner with the President. So I'd have to say the braid didn't deter the fish in any way.
Dens228 reply :
I used straight braid for everything until this past summer.
Now I tie a very short mono leader on crankbait and jerkbait rods. It has nothing to do with visibility for me. I do it because it lessens the line getting caught up with the hooks.
jbsoonerfan reply :
I used straight braid on everything for the past few years and didn't noticed any difference in catch rates. However, I just spooled up all new line and switched it up a little bit and put some 12 lb Sufix Elite on a couple rigs. No reason, just figured I would see how it goes. If I don't like it, back to braid it is.
Scott F reply :
I have always used straight braid for everything. I don’t believe bass have the brain power to reason or to figure out that line attached to a lure is something to avoid. So, I don’t worry or care about line visibility. Where I fish, even in rocky streams and rivers, I never have problems with abrasion. I’ve never had a reason to even try FC or mono leaders.

So you only run 2 rigs total? That’s a beautiful fish!

That’s interesting! Never thought about it that way but you are right...those treble hooks can be a pain. Do you use an fg knot?

No, I have 7 rigs (see my signature), but three I run Yo-Zuri Hybrid and two I run mono.

I usually drink Coke, but sometimes I like to have a Dr Pepper LOL.
I plan to use the Mono for moving baits and stick with braid for topwater and bottom contact.

Oh - I'm running cranks/jerks on YZH - but topwaters, (Spooks, WPs and Chopps) are on either the President or Fuego-XS. I tossed them that way last year...yes on straight braid...and didn't have the issue of the line tangling in the trebles.

I use a double uni. Easy to tie and I've never had one give. With a little practice the actual knot is nice and small.

Mind if I ask what braid you are using?
Shimano_1 reply :
I fish a lot of clearer lakes and wouldn't even entertain the thought of running straight braid on everything. I run it on my frog rod and one spinning rod that gets a fluoro leader. Like most things I'm sure it's a confidence thing but no one I know around here fishes much braid. Apparently it works for a lot of u guys tho. I personally think there are times when the visibility of the braid would affect the number of bites. I have no evidence of this but believe it enough to not run braid on most things. Plus I'm not crazy about the noise and such associated with it. I say use whatever ur confident in. Maybe try it and see if you think its hurting anything.

I've run straight braid for 90 percent of my fishing seasons in the past 30 years. Really haven't noticed a difference. Tough days are no easier with flouro.

Have you ever fished with someone else in the boat who was using mono or fluoro? Notice any difference between the two bites? This is probably the closest we have to experiments ha
Bird reply :
I prefer braid over any other line but just can't get myself to run it straight for applications like Ned rigs or drop shot.
Perhaps the fish don't care but I do.
I use Powe pro and Viscous braids and Sunline Sniper as leader line only.
Haven't used mono in many years.
12poundbass reply :
This year I spooled up fluorocarbon on one rod, the other 11 are all braid.
swhit140 reply :
I have braid on everything except my crankbait/treble hook lures/jerkbait which has mono.
redmeansdistortion reply :
I run straight braid when fishing bass, they don't seem to be line shy. Even in the crystal clear waters of Lake St Clair. I typically only use leaders when fishing salmon, steelhead, and toothy critters because the rigs I run dictate their use. There really isn't much rigging involved in bass fishing unless you're running a variant of the C-rig. Most of it is tying on a bait and casting. It's not like I'm tying on a circle hook and a 3oz pyramid to catch bass. Great burbot rig though.

Yes . on bad days sometimes they win sometimes I win. It's never by a big margin though. It's not enough that I'd conclude it's due to the line. This year I finally decided to totally not worry about it.

Not one of yall but I do, floating braid is my bite detector. Tried mono and floro but kept missing fish, braid much easier to see. I believe that the action of the bait is also better with braid.
fvogel67 reply :
I run straight braid when fishing the Great Miami River for Smallies and Sauger/Saugeyes.
Braid with a leader when fishing gravel pits.
One advantage since I’ve switched to all braid fishing rivers is that when snagged I can recover 95% of my lures.
I take a small wooden dowel and use it to pull my lures free.Cheaper to replace a treble than buying a new lure.

Boomstick reply :
I ran straight braid a couple of years ago with no issues, and occasionally tied on a leader.. The advantage is that you can fish things like a frog on your MH/F rod but the downside is you will want a medium moderate rod for cranking instead of a MH/MF, M/MF or maybe M/F to compensate for the lack of line stretch.
I still run straight braid on my H/F rod I use for frogs and jigs. It's actually a microguide rod so I can't tie on a leader, so I'm either running straight braid or in cases where a leader seems appropriate I just fish my other reel with 17lb fluorocarbon.
The only time I really would use a leader is more for presentation than worrying about the line being seen and around rocks when abrasion might become an issue (although rarely is) or in areas with fewer weeds.

I would love to find some studies where some guys go out and fish every day in same areas with same baits. Rotating every other day between straight braid and braid/leader. Do that for a week or two, and see if there's any differences. anyone want to volunteer? haha

Sounds to me like u have your doubts and I don't think any of us are going to remove that doubt. I would just use what you're confident in. Sometimes it's a pain but nothing worse than regret. Apparently it works for some and others like myself will never do it.

The beauty of fishing. Use whatever you want! No rules!
QUAKEnSHAKE reply :
Use straight braid for all presentations(but not exclusively) wacky senko included. I also fish very clear waters 15+ visibility on the deeper lakes and can see bottom on lake I fish that only get 6-8 feet deep.
On the fishing braid against other person fishing FC wont work its not definitive test too many variables. I have fished side by side with both of us using FC and out fished that person and the other way around. I have used braid and out fished that person wasnt the line.
I do fish the same lake day after day usually 35-40 hours a week ice out to ice on. Ill take braid only at times and FC only or a mix. Never have found a discernible difference in catch rate or size.
My most productive hour and 1/2 of fishing was with wacky senko and braid(well nanofil) one fish after another after another. With FC and wacky senko on same lake have not come close the the same catch rate.
DINK WHISPERER reply :
I use braid on everything no leader. From 30lb on my top water setup to 65lb on my punching combo.
clemsondds reply :
so you guys that use it for everything, that includes finesse? (eg dropshot, ned rig...) Again, just learning here...I know I have to choose for myself and have confidence...just trying to hear what everyone else is doing. I have no friends that fish really...so this forum is the only way I get to bounce ideas of great fishermen... so thank you all for the advice and time! much appreciated!
PhishLI reply :
During reasonable weather above freezing I run straight braid on everything except big treble swimbait setups. Once I'm fishing near 32 degrees I switch to mono or copoly as it keeps the guides from freezing up for a bit longer because it doesn't hold water like braid does. I throw weedless wacky rigged stick baits on 30lb braid because my waters are super snaggy. I do just fine here. My son in law's home lake is super clear. He's only finesse fishes. He switched to braid last year and nothing changed with his numbers. Still has 15-20 bass days using regular PP 15lb green. I've had no problem catching there when fishing much heavier braid. Every now and then I'll spool up fluoro for it's feel with certain bottom baits, but that hasn't seemed to change much regarding outcome.
LCG reply :
Use a leader most of the time. It's also about abrasion resistance and stretch factors too. Love the way braid behaves but also like a little stretch in the system. It's more of a personal preference thing.
DanielG reply :
I switched to braid last summer. So far so good. Probably won't go back. I don't use a leader. It doesn't seem to be an issue.

Yes braid or nanofil all I use for ned rigs, never have used FC. In general choose braid for its sensitivity no stretch and way better line management over FC.
But you should always if possible try for yourself.

I have only tried dropshotting a couple of times and used my cranking rod with 20 pound braid. This upcoming season I'm going to use a spinning set up with 10 pound mono as I'm going to force myself to learn to dropshot. I don't really have the patience for it but we'll see how it goes. LOL
Troy85 reply :
I used straight braid until about 2 years ago, now I use leaders on everything except top water and punching rig. I think I noticed an increase in catch rate, but at the same time I can't say if its at all related to the use of a leader, or if its just me improving in general. My take on it is, I can see the braid in the water, so I know the bass can see the braid. Whether or not the braid bothers the bass is a different story,I decide to play it safe and just tie on a fluro leader.
The leader knot thru the guides is probably the worst part of the leader, and I'm terrible with knots so I've always been using the double uni. I finally forced myself to learn the FG knot and the difference in night and day. If you are going to use a leader, make yourself learn the FG knot, its by far the smoothest thru the guides.
Dens228 reply :
FWIW probably 80% of my fishing is in quarries where often you can see the bottom 10 feet down. A while back I posted about using a jig in one, thinking I was snagged I paddled my yak over and saw I had hooked a bass that had wrapped my line around submerged roots of a tree stump about 8-10 feet down. I was able to watch as I slowly applied pressure from right above and unwrapped it from around the snags and brought the bass in.
The point of my story is that I was using straight 30 pound braid. This was in a quarry that many say is hard to fish but I have success there mainly due to fishing it a lot. The visibility of braid certainly doesn't hurt my fishing there.
fin reply :
One reason I use a leader is in case I get hung up / snagged, I only leave behind a couple feet of line in the lake, as opposed to the hundreds of feet some of my fellow fishermen leave behind. I’ve seen line wrapped around herons, bald eagles, ospreys, ducks, etc. It’s a sad sight.
Hook2Jaw reply :
Had a bass scoot off when my braid landed on top the water after I made a cast way past her. Fish aren't line shy? I disagree. They don't get big by not being cautious and paranoid, I feel like half their brain says EAT and the other half is devoted to RUN.
I use braid for pitching, punching, and frogging. Everything else is either mono, fluoro, copoly, or leadered with one of those.
the reel ess reply :
I use straight 20# braid on both my spinning combos. I use 30# on my jig/T-rigs rod. I used to use a 15# mono leaders, but I started with straight braid in the heavy stuff and still caught big fish. So I'm trying to lose the belief that fish are really line shy. IDK, I may go back to a mono leader at some point. But I don't think you need 8' of it. A short one will do and it allows for easier retying. I've always used straight 50# on my frog rod.
I still use mono for my trebles, topwaters and spinner/buzzbaits.
Columbia Craw reply :
Straight braid for three applications, punchin, swim jig and frogs. Braid with a leader on all my spinning rods. I like the reduced line twist and small diameter. Everything else is done with mono or floro.
Randy Price reply :
Straight braid. No issues that I'm aware of.

Scooted away because they saw the braid land on the surface or because the heard/felt the line slap hit the surface??
I don't know the answer but to play devils advocate braid, mono, flouro would have all caused the line slap on the surface.
WRB reply :
When braid is mentioned today it's super braid not Dacron braid that I learned to bass fish with. When monofilament line became popular for spinning reels and early free spool bait casters braid dissapeared from bass fishing for 20 years, everyone used mono.
When Spectra super small diameter braid hit the market bass anglers started using it, rod guides and reel level winds changed to accommodate braid to prevent cutting grooves.
I tried super braid and disliked it for bass fishing and never really adopted it because of the need to add leaders using 2 knots. When I use braid it's direct, no leader.

I use remnant Seaguar Tatsu fluorocarbon leaders for three specific reasons: I can break
it if necessary, abrasion resistance and visibility.

WRB reply :
Only you can decide what works for you.
The only advantage braid has IMO is low memory that reduces line twist issues and extremely strong break strength per .001 diameter. Braid floats and that can be good or bad. Braid is very light weight good and bad. Low abrasion resistance bad, cuts through aquatic vegetation good, high modulus with low stretch good and bad. Good knot strength, cuts softer materials like leader line, expensive, color dye can bleed with some brands, severe backlashes, wind knots.
Take your pick.

Lots of line threads to dig through.
Braid I only use 1; Fins 60 lb PRT green.
Monofilament p;
5 lb Maxima Ultra green, finesse spinning, slip shot rig floating line.
7 lb Sunline Sniper, finesse spinning, drop shot sinking line.
10 lb Berkley Big Game, medium diving crank baits, in expensive and respool often.
11 lb Sunline Defier Arimillo, small top water, spy baits, small and medium diving crank baits, structure spoons, small dia line, expensive.
12 lb Berkley Big Game, deep diving crank baits, inexpensive line respool often.
10 lb Sunline sniper, small jigs and T-rigs, deep water, sinking line, small dia.
12 lb Sunline Shooter, jigs and T-rigs in general, sinking line small dia, expensive.
15 lb Big Game night fishing in general, inexpensive great knot strength.
25 on Sunline Defier Armillo, swimbaits in general, expensive small dia line, good casting distance.
I prefer to use smaller diameter line with excellent 100% knot strength and casting performance...not brand dependant but performance based. Not a fan of FC line due to marginal 80% knot strength for all brands. I tie Polamar, San Deigo jam knots most of the time.
I target and catch bass that often exceed the lb test of the line being used with jigs and T-rigs, line performance is a critical link and must have confidence using it.

clemsondds reply :
Well I used straight braid this past weekend on my 110+1 jerkbait and it did pretty well. Then retied halfway through the day with fluoro leader (8ft) and I was amazed...I started getting leaves stuck to the hooks when I retrieved. Pretty sure the fluoro was allowing it to get another foot or two deeper. Caught fish on both though.

I got no data, but I do make up statistics....and I say that I use hi viz braid because for every fish my flourescent braid scares off.....I catch three others that I wouldn't have before when I couldn't see my line move.
Choporoz reply :
Years ago, I was watching a show or video of a pro....forget who....I want to say Denny Brauer, but could have just as easily been Bill Dance or Houston or someone else....who said something to the effect of "I WANT the bass to see my line...and follow it right down to my jig"
I've fished down to 4# fluoro and you can see small fish near the surface that can obviously see the line and hang around looking at it. I just haven't seen anything to make me believe that a bass is less catchable if my jig is on braid vice fluoro. I could maybe be persuaded that really heavily pressured fish, caught multiple times might learn that visible line is a danger indicator, but I doubt it.

Michigander reply :
I used straight braid for years and caught a lot of fish. Now I use FC leaders on my braid and I catch more fish. I have some basic evidence in that if I am catching fish with a leader and my leader gets destroyed, I catch fewer fish when I get lazy and don't put a new leader on. My catches go back up when I get frustrated and put a leader back on.
My waters are also generally clear and super pressured. It could also be a confidence thing.
