Why G-Loomis is the BEST! (GLX Rod Review) - YouTube

Braid wins when: You need maximum sensitivity (jigging, bottom fishing, working soft plastics) You need thin diameter to get deep or cast far (deep dropping, surf casting) You need zero stretch for solid hooksets at distance (inshore casting, jigging wrecks) You're spooling backing on a conventional reel for offshore trolling Monofilament wins when: You need stretch as a shock absorber (trolling with natural bait, king mackerel live baiting) You need abrasion resistance around structure (bridge pilings, rock jetties) You're trolling offshore where stretch prevents pulled hooks on the initial strike Budget matters - Sufix Superior mono costs a fraction of quality braid Fluorocarbon wins when: Leader-shy fish are the target (clear water sight fishing, finesse inshore) You need near-invisibility underwater (flounder, speckled trout, redfish in gin-clear water) Abrasion resistance matters more than stretch (Grand Slam Bluewater fluoro leader handles sharp gill plates and structure) The real answer for most saltwater anglers: braid as your main line with a fluorocarbon or mono leader
