Mono backing on braid....

USMCbassman · 11-09-12, 02:08 PM

As probably like some of you all I took advantage of TW's Sunline sale and have stripped that horrible P-Line floroclear off of my DS rig. Now it's time to re-spool it.

With that said I've been contemplating putting a 10lb braid on my DS with a nice leader of flouro.

Is there a need to put a mono backing behind braid on spinning gear? For the amount of line used I understand that concept and I understand the concept of it on a bait caster, just not sure if it worthwhile on spinning gear.

Shoot is it even worthwhile to put braid on my DS set up? I use it for shaky heads and light swimbaits too.

I like the sensitivity I get out of my braid.

My only major concern is it seems like when you have 3 different types of line spliced together it give you one more point of failure.

Thoughts, suggestions

Am I over thinking this?

Thanks guys and Gal
