few questions..
How do I tie braid to my reel?
I will be using a Luna 253 for jigs, c-rigs, frogs and chatters (for now, yes I know it's a bit heavy but not in the mood for trout plugs so it's just sitting here) and want to try/was recommended to try/ read about trying some braid in several of these instances. Do I just tie the braid right to the line eye/swivel on these baits? What knot do I use?
Lastly, any recommendations as far as line brand, type and rating? How long does it last? How do I know when to change it?
Do I need some backing under it? Topshot for these applications?
Thanks for any help you guys can point me to.
