Mono holds much better in the offshore releases than braid.Braid is smaller and more slippery.The braid could hold in the black OR release but could wrap it on the other releases.We run 15# mono and use the orange OR19 in front arm and the red OR16 in the rear.We twist the line About 5-7 times and put the twist between the pads with loop facing forward and make sure you get the line behind the pin in the red OR release in the rear.When fish hits it pulls the line out of front release and can reel in board more easily.If fish doesn't pull out line you then jerk rob quickly to the side and the line comes off.If you don't get line behind pin board will float away .Immediately place icon to go back for it.Make sure write name and tel number on board too.
