JimC Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I seem to be getting more hookups on mono. I use set rods in the boat and drift. Could it be the extra "give" in the mono? I am getting hits on braid but far fewer hookups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvarking Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Are you using a mono or fluorocarbon leader? Also what is the action of your rod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaxland Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hi could be that you notice the hits on braid as it has much better feed back and do not get the same feed back from non braid. In some cases tension on the line is important e.g. sabuki bait rigs where the weight on the bottom sets the hook as opposed to a strike with a handline where the sinker is above the bait.

JimC Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 I fish light with mono trace and sinker at hook. Rods are 7ft spinning rods and I have the drag just set as not to spool out with drift. Any fish that takes the bait would hardly feel any tension on line.
