toadfish braided fishing line Amazon.com : 10LB 150 Yards-Teal : Sports & Outdoors salt tough components Braid Scissors – Toadfish

Lure Types: Buzzbaits, rattling crankbaits, or noisy topwater lures

Eight ball bearings and a roller bearing make this reel one of the smoothest on the market, bar none

Here are the variables that are in this experiment: Line Power: Equal both at 10 lbs Rod Lenght: Equal both the exact same 76 rods made by the same manufacturer with the same power rating Reels: Equal both lines were on the same sized Shimano Stradic Ci4 reel Lures: Equal both were 1/2 oz teardrop shaped weights so that wind-friction is minimized Casting Force As equal as possible without a $$$$ machine Line Diameter: Not equal but thats ok because it is part of the reason why braid has an advantage Note: I did 5 casts with each line for the first round before switching the weights and doing 5 more casts to make sure that the weights used were not impacting the results

It has three adjustments: the drag, the spool tension knob and the brake control

You should now have a small knot at the end of your string or rope
