A braided fishing line results in a lot of F.A.Q.s. Anglers choosing to try braided lines are unsure of certain aspects of the line. This article contains the popularly asked questions with short answers.

Common F.A.Q.s
A braided line is good for the mainline on reels. Use a mono or fluoro leader when needed in clearer waters. The line has a smaller diameter for its strength. This allows more to be spooled or stronger lines to be used.
When finesse fishing, the line offers a major advantage with sensitivity. In addition, it is stronger offering better hooksets, it has no or very little stretch.
A leader is recommended. A leader can be replaced and saves the braided line. Leaders also allow some stretch in some instances when needed.
This depends on the fish and water clarity. Some fish have very good vision and will see fishing lines. In stained or muddy water lines are harder to see by the fish. Use a fluoro leader if you have doubts about fish seeing the line.
Line color is a personal choice but moss green is popular. The bright colors allow better visibility for anglers watching for line movement. The trolling line is metered with alternating ten-yard sections of different colors.
Modern fishing rods are designed for using braided fishing lines. A good rod will have better guide inserts that will withstand the abrasion of the braided lines.
Braided lines do last longer but will wear out. When the line is fraying or the weave becomes loose replace the line. In some cases, it becomes weak and breaks easily due to UV damage.
Yes, braided lines can be used on spinning reels. The reel needs to braid compatible or have a backing line placed on the spool.
Using braided lines is the same as other lines. Lures or live bait can be used with braid. A leader is needed in certain instances. Use a lighter line for finesse fishing or a heavier line for reaction lures or heavy baits.
Spinning reels can use lighter lines of 10-20 pound test strength. Baitcasting use 30-pound or higher. Braided lines will dig in on baitcasting reels. The heavier lines have bigger diameters reducing the chance.
The smaller diameters allow the use of stronger lines. Set the drag according to the monofilament rating of the reel. This will prevent damage to the reel or fishing rod. Plus use a tool or something to wrap the line around to pull out of a snag.
Braid needs to placed on the spool with adequate tension. People try running the line through their finger. This does not work. You need to use a fishing line tensioning tool. It is a low cost solution to avoid problems. Having someone hold the spool applying tension is okay also.
