Been trying out braid shockleader 50lb bs. I like the small knot but really not much else so far. Does not seem to cast as far as my usual 50 lb bs mono leader, is this because the mono has a bit of stretch adding a spring effect to the cast? Also braid seems to tangle more due to its smaller diameter and if it tangles around fluorocarbon snood it may well cut it on a decent fish! Lastly there is the risk of cutting your hand if you grab a braid shockleader to drag a fish up the beach. Think I will go back to the mono shockleader and put up with the larger uni knot. Don't really like tapered leader due to cost and length. Anybody else used braid as shockleader and found it advantageous over mono?
