Braid shines brightly,on a downrigger and nothing else can begin to hang with it,in said application. I was looking for pics,but cain't find 'em.(grin)

In extreme cold,Braid does no favors,especially on the modest eyes found upon a typical Casting(Drift Fishing) rod. I seldom have to contend such temps,so it's close to moot...though I do have extry spools in tow and have seen me slum mono in a pinch(though begrudgingly). Hint.

'Croix makes some nice stuff. Their Warranty isn't Loomis-esque(40 clams to get through the door,as opposed to 20 for Loomis),but they seem to take care. Loomis replaced the above rod,no questions asked and if they wouldn't have...I'd still be money wayyyyyyy ahead of the equation,as I flogged on it purty good(though I prefer the GL3 version of the 1141-S,by a goodly margin).

'Croix action photo,post blank explosion and amidst trying to save face,by hand mucking the victim in for posterity pics. Funny schit! 40 clams and they made good.

Happiness is singin' braid,a screamin' drag and a blank on the verge of explosion...with pizzed off Chrome taking exception to the works.
