If is fun to watch it funny when they think they are going to be able to get the fish in and then fall and catch them selfs and lose there rod.... bye, bye rod.
Snaggers use Mono too. #-o #-o

What happened to the pictures of the broken rod?

This forum thread ended up being about snagging and braid.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Scott was floating bobber and eggs, so to say be, "That guy?" Not sure what you mean? I use braid and I will continue to use braid especially in the rivers. Not to pick on you, but I get hung up on way more Mono than Braid, hands down. Not even close.

I use braid for bobber/jigs- am I that guy??

I agree with jens, i use braid sometimes and just because it doesnt stetch doesnt mean the rod will give frst. Its how you fight this fish for which will give out first.
