I use mono on my planer board rods and braid for dipseys 20 pound maximum mono

we use 15lb Maxima mono on rods that we use the inline boards on and 30lb power pro braid on rods for the dipseys.All reels are calibrated,which I finally figured out how to do 2yrs ago.Recommend mono for releases since had problems with braid not holding in the releases for boards.If get a tangle with mono,at least you got a good chance of untangling.With braid,you get a tangle, most likely cutting.

mono backing on reels with 300 ft.40 lb. power pro ( 10 lb mono dia ) then 20 lb mono usually 1 rod length with quality ball bearing swivel ( important to prevent line twist ) on 1 end. Line dia is important because most dive curve charts use 10 lb dia. as standard for dive curve charts. Also important to calibrate LC reels so your set back length is correct.

I go with gradyfish,I use 12# big game, have landed some pretty big fish with this line, and it doesn't break the bank can get 4700yds on eBay for usually less than 40 clams, everyone has their own opinion, I like the extra stretch. Some depends on the type of rods you use

The difference between .014 & .020 at 2mph with a 2oz weight and a 100 foot of line out is approx 4'. To each his own, but i find it important to pay attention to line diameter when looking at dive curves.

I run mono with inline boards for cranks and harnesses . The only time I use braid is for dipsies . As far as calibrating your line counter , why wouldn't you ? It's free , just takes a little time , 1ft off on your counter could be as much as 15ft off of line out , depending on the lb. line and if your overspooled or under spooled. It could be the difference between having your baits above the fish , or below them ......

Mone for inline boards , cranks , inline weights or tadpoles . The added stretch let's em take the bait deeper .
Braid for big boards , Jets , and dipseys .
The no stretch helps to trip easier , or yank and release the line on big boards .
