Past 5 months I've been using some cheap Zebco Omniflex 10 # Braid because during fall I was told the 10 lb mono I was using is too thick and easily visible for the Trout in the Urban Trout Lakes, so I figured it's as thin as 4# mono, but still has the 10 # strength. Anyways the trout for reasons unknown to me still didn't buy it, but I got to liking it anyways. Occasionally I do miss the slight memory or stretch of mono line when the braid catches onto a hook or during knot tying, but my only real issue is that the stuff barely ever sinks. Somehow whether right or not, I feel the braid not sinking makes it easier for fish to see the line. So with that being said, what are the good and bad of braided line? Of Mono, and any other types as well. Also just from lurking around I see there's a discussion as to the line pound test strength used for Smallmouth in rivers as opposed to lakes, and that got me wondering what's the difference in regards to what the two different bodies of water do, that would give an incentive to change the pound breakage strength of your line if the fish were to be within the same range of strength/size between the two bodies of water. Thanks.
