I am an avid user of overhead reels and have often considered changing from nylon to braid but have read reports that braid on an overhead can be a problem due to the line pulling down into the wound line and not casting well for that reason. I would appreciate your comments on all aspects of braid for overheads and what are the best brands to use if going down the braid track.
Most true, I re-spooled my abu this season with a good quality braid, lasted one trip before going home and changing back to mono. Very frustrating with the braid digging in on the reel, especially when the fish was biting and i was just losing the gear on casting.
