Singing braid in the wind.

[spaners]

As we all know Braid sing/,vibrates in the wind.So Im thinking does it sing/ vibrate under water when under tension ie when you have a large sinker trying to hold bottom at Flint n Steel.Just thinking out side the square trying to improve catch rates.

I would think it might. Sound travels through water

Maybe the frequency will be different.

Never really thought about it.

Maybe that's why my catch rate is rubbish ;-)

It's an interesting topic. This isn't limited to braid though. Mono or any material will vibrate given the right tension.

I'd have thought that it shouldn't make a noise under water as the water would dampen the osslcilation.

could always stick your ear under water and find out

It used to howl for me. When we had 3 or 4 lines with lead to park them, the lines started groaning when the current started really moving. The sound transferred to the boat (tinny)through the rod holders.

I don't think those conditions are goodfor catching Jews so not sure if the line noise was a put off.

I don't do much Jew fishing now so I haven't tried to get over the problem. Good luck.
