Whats the idea behind the mono buffer? Is it to reduce the visibility that hiviz braid would have? I've only ever tied directly to mainline braid. I've caught fish but wonder if the mono buffer would improve? As I understood it, a fish that hits a spinner is hitting out of aggression and what the spinner is tied to doesn't really make a difference.
This. It's disgusting to show up at a good hole and see 30-60 feet of 50# braid laying around on the shore. I pulled a 30+ foot piece of 30# mono out of a hole a couple weeks ago... I lost my leader and corkie, put another one on, snagged in exact same spot, and then pulled out my previous rig, and someone else's rig complete with weights and stuff. Is it really that hard to pull yrouself out of a snag correctly? These people are using lie that 2-3 times as heavy as the biggest I'm packing unles I break out my salt spinning reel.. :blushing:I use a buffer so when I snag up I don't leave 50 yards of braid in the water.
