I am wondering a few things about braided line, both summer and winter lines. I put 6lb Suffix 832 on my summer reals for the first time last year. I also primarily used Sufix on my winter reals this year as well.
1. Do you need to change braided line every season?
2. Do you always install a backer on a spinning reel? If so how many yards or feet and what is the best line to use? I would think something cheap?
3. Do you always use a fluorocarbon leader or tie directly to the jig or lure?
4. If you tie braid directly to the lure, what knot works best for braid?
I know, a few “loaded” questions,and I am sure a topic that has been brought up many times before, but I love getting opinions from others. Soon it will be time to get the summer gear in order!!
