[QUOTE="gtodd, post: 507822, member: 4347"] To eliminate the hum I was getting from cable, I switched to braided on the one I use. I haven't used the new one enough to know if I will go that route. One thing though, you need to inspect braided for wear. I have empirical data to back that up: A few years ago, I was pre-fishing with a buddy the day before a kokanee tournament at Bucks. I was putting my 10 lb ball into the water and it just kept going to the bottom, unattached. Was pretty much screwed as I had no backup, none at the lake or in Quincy. Had to drive to 63 miles to Chester just to get a second rate ball from a hardware store. I now give the line good looking over anytime I'm getting boat ready for a trip. [/QUOTE]
