Running lines...

[guest]

I have to replace my running line and type six shooting head. Here are my questions. In your opinion which type of line is better, a "regular" running line (which is what I had) or braided mono? Why in your opinion is one better than the other? I lost my entire rig to a big B run steelhead on the Clearwater April and need to replace ASAP so I can get back after it this fall. Thank you for any input in helping me make this decision. Tight Lines

Better knots will prevent a lost rig.

I use a "regular" running line. The braided mono has two bad issues. It holds water and freezes. Kinda makes for a bad cast. It also is like a bandsaw when a big fish runs. Keep your fingers away.
