Another braid question (or 2)

[mackem_steve]

How much braid do I put on the spool, I've got some mono backing on, but unsure how much braid to put on.

And how long of a mono leader ( braid-mono-lure)?

now much of your braid will your reel take ? and how much braid is on your spool? if your reel will only take 200m and you have a 300m spool, I would put 150m on then you get to reload your spool at some point with fresh braid, plus you'd be doing well to cast 150m. As for the Rub leader, I tend to go about 600mm

This site ain't big enough for the both of us lol

LOL! The cheek!

I guess there aint much point in spooling a lot of braid due to its price! You need to protect it I guess and back with as much mono as you can get away with....

Looking forward to getting out and giving it a bash, do you prefer jellies or plugs ?

Im just learning, spinners and rubber redgill eels so far taking fish. Hoping to get out during the week and add a few other fish, have a small collection of plugs aswell now but waiting for some settled weather to get the out.... hoping on a trip away for the day at the weekend to bash the plugs a bit!

I guess all the soft plastics and hard plastic take fish int he right circumstances judging by the catch reports!

Depends what I'm fishing for, plugs for bass though

It depends how big your spool is and what diameter braid, I tend to fill mine with no backing. Expensive yes but reverse after a while and it will be as new.
