[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 313889, member: 983"] Never tried braid, but with big pike flies I think I would still lean on fluoro. I've never done well casting heavier flies on light line. Streamers and such seem to cast better for me with line that has more stiffness. I'm not sure I'd worry about the visibility of braid like some might say, I don't know that is a big deal in most pike waters we fish. And as far as preservation, you shouldn't have to cut your fly line. Most have loops that allow quick leader changes. Even non looped lines you should be able to switch leaders without cutting if you use the right knot. [/QUOTE]
