Believe it or not, but this is my first set up on spinning reel and baitcaster using braided line. I have always used mono but decided to try braided after watching some of the Straight Up Fishing videos. I lost 3 nice fish in 2026 due to me failing to tie a knot properly. (I think 🤔) I want to be better in 2026 so I’m trying the braided. I also tried using a crank bait yesterday that did surprisingly well. It was a day of trying new things for me!
