We use separate rods for braid that we use for dipsies and mono for trolling inline boards.You can use braid for inline boards but the braid can slip thru the releases more easily than mono.We use 15lb Maxima mono on our trolling rods.I own 6 line counters reel/ rods.Got braid on two and mono on the other four.I have used the mono rods when trolling 4 dipsies with no problem in the past.But I never have tried running the braid on inline boards.My buddy,that I frequently fish with now also has 6 line counters rods with two braid and 4 mono.So with our combined rods can now run 4 braid on dipsies and 6 inline boards with mono.
