Braid
Message:
Can anyone tell me the best pound test for braid for surf fishing? I have a 10-foot pole, spinning reel, and I never fish after dark so the best I can hope for is 10- to 15-lb. blue.

I usually run 40lb-50lb. It casts like 20lb. mono or less. Depends where you're fishing as well. Lighter braid casts longer, but is easy to chafe through on rocks. Make sure you run a long leader of heavy mono for stripers .

Thanks, Redneck.
Message:
I just fish from the beach so no rocks involved. It sounds like I can go a little lighter than 40 lbs. I had already heard about the need for a leader. What is the name of the knot you use to attach mono to braid? I used a nail knot on my fly line.
