We don't switch the line out, we just add 100' of mono on top of the braid for the early spring... Once we go to spoons, we just cut it off and toss it. And before anyone asks "Doesn't that change the reel calibration?" Yes, a little, but all my reels still match, so once I dial in on a lead that's working, I can duplicate it on all my rods.

I don't think it's so much about being stealthy... typically we're dealing with a pretty heavy stained water that early in the year. Sometimes just downright muddy. If we're talking about 'getting the fish to bite', I can only guess that the mono may give a little different action on the bait, just as a 2 oz. inline at 6' will effect it different that a 2 oz. snap weight at 50'... but again - I'm guessing! As far as 'keeping the big ones hooked' once they bite, you'll get much more consistent stretch out 100' mono than you would from 15' of mono, and obviously ZERO stretch from the braid.
I'll say again - I can only try to explain what works for us, and why I think it's working. Every day I don't learn something new is a day wasted!Capt. Eric Litton
