Braided line has near-zero stretch, transmitting every bump and bite directly to your rod tip. But its visibility in clear water spooks educated fish. Use 15-20lb braid as your mainline with a 6-8 foot fluorocarbon leader connected by a double uni knot or FG knot. This gives you the best of both: sensitivity from braid, invisibility from fluoro. This setup dominates tournament bass fishing for a reason.
