I was a mono guy as well, but I found 1500 yds of reaction tackle braided line last year for about $40. Been using it ever since. I find it's cheaper in the long run. If I broke mono I often had to respool the whole spool, otherwise, I would end up with a big knot in the line. With this stuff I just tie whatever Reaction braid I need to the fill spool and knot is hardly noticeable.

[@Thedave2224]

dave you are one of the greatest catfishermen I have ever seen. ive been waching your videos now for about a year and they have helped me increase the size and amout of fish I catch. I just wanted to tell you thanks for the help and time you put in and I will help you how ever I can.

[@countryfriedfishing]

As a Bass fisherman who uses Braid 99.9% of the time im here to say that Power Pro is a far superior braid.Ive got a 1000 yard spool of the Reaction Tackle 8 strand sitting next to me and its worth its price,thats about it. Ive got reels with Power Pro and Power Pro V2 Slick from 2 years ago. Ive respooled the Reaction twice this year already from frays.

I love braid around wood only. I took your advice on thick mono around rocks and have lost less fish

[@djangojango3170]

I will buy that braided line off of your link mr. Catfish Dave you deserve to make every penny you can make you always bring us the best catfishing videos on KZbin you are the best in the whole wide world as far as KZbin videos go you have Charisma you explain everything I enjoy and I love watching every single one of your videos since I discovered your channel on KZbin and I am and I'm going to say your number one fan hands down Point Blank it is what it is all the way from The Lone Star State Dallas Texas Jose Zaragoza I will buy that line I have a new set up to fishing rods and reel combo and I'm going to order it off of your link I'm going to give me two rolls of that fishing line is 500 yards in a row and I can use that for my big grills that I bought for my fishing rods because I upgraded on the reals but it came as a combo so I will use that and I will help your channel out so that you can reap and benefit also the rewards from your hard work and effort and the time that you put in into every single one of your videos and plus my main reason a one of my main reasons is because you run them people off the shore when they are fishing in their boats and you ask them what are they fishing for and that you have your lines in the water you stick to your guns and you stand your ground and you make them suckers leave you run them off mr. Catfish days and that sir deserves a lot of respect because I do the same damn thing and I'm always packing when I'm fishing on the bank because there's a lot of crazy damn people that I always want to come near you and ask you questions and you don't know who the fuck they are and their intentions one time one guy tried to rob me a busted his ass I kicked his ass I put his damn face in the water I was trying to drown that son-of-a-bitch somehow the game warden was passing by so I what was happening I told her what was happening I had my camera recording because I am trying to do my own videos and it was all on camera I almost got arrested because I was trying to drown the guy but the game warden did not arrest me he did not arrest the other guy because he feel rested the other guy I had to be arrested and I did not have a criminal record I was born and raised in the United States and Texas and that's the only reason that God did not get arrested because then I would have to be arrested because I engaged forward into the combat and when you engage forward according to Texas law at least here in Texas you are no longer self defending yourself you are engaging in to the fight but the game warden did chew that other guy's ass out he saw his face he was badly beat up and he figured out that was good enough he ran them off and I catfishing so I understand and I am real calm cool and Collective just like you are but when they fuck with me and they fuck my fishing I explode real quick my temper is hot but the same time I am a cool and calm guy but when you fuck with me the wrong way I am like dynamite I go boom and I go from being mr. Super duper duper duper really nice guy to really super duper duper duper mean asshole and kick your ass and drown your motherfucking ass if I can drown your ass and get away with it because everything is bigger in Texas the drowned in the ass whooping to fishing and everything else. Only thing that text just came through right now is compete with mr. Catfish Dave at least I can't because I can catch plenty of fishing numbers but I cannot catch them size of catfish that you've been catching lately I catch him every once in awhile but because I do eat my fish I go more for the quantity and my limit versus the big Quality Trophy fish but I do catch 70 80 90 lb catfish I'm not going to lie I catch him every year but I'd rather keep them three Pounders up to 15 lb blue catfish and Appaloosa catfish and that's my go-to fish and that's all I got to say about that that's what Forrest Gump said!! Now let me continue watching your video because I'm only 4 minutes and 10 seconds into your video and your video is 11 minutes and 40 seconds therefore I got 7 minutes and 30 more seconds to watch your video!!

[@hotramen5952]

idk, when im tying on a $50-100 musky lure, i want to straighten out the 5/0 black trident hook if it gets snagged, i want the pounder dawg to not snap my line on a backlash. all the affordable line makes up their price in pic count and quality control. power pro, suffix advance or 832, i trust those. berkley big game braid, my jury is still out on live bait rigs on glass or half glass rods that NEVER touch bottom, didnt fish suckers enough last year to give it a thumbs up or down.

[@stanpierce4724]

Did Catfish Dave just become an official Pro Staff member of a braid company???? Awesome!!! I would have never bet on him not becoming a Pro-staffer, but I would have lost $257,569 on it being a braided line company! If he gets sponsored by a boat company I will be out of $712,964.00... $1.8 million if it's Sea Ark! Kidding not kidding Dave, I love ya to death..... Dave's in my top 3 youtube guys!!!!!

[@gsnicholas8522]

Try the FG knot for connecting the mono top shot to the braid. There's several you tube videos on how to tie it.

[@catfishdave8192]

The best knot but time consuming in the field especially at night. The likelihood of me breaking off a couple times a night is pretty good. If I were at the beach or in a area where I know I won't snag then that is a great option to have already tied when you get to the spot

So how have you liked the reaction tackle braid after a year of use?

[@voiceforthevoicelesstruth5480]

Smith lake here in Alabama at the smith lake dam has giant strippers! You jig giant spoons or use drop lines with live bait! They are usually around the thermocline it’s 200 foot of water and they hang out under them bait schools at 60 -80 ish. They show up on the finder real easy too! This is in the summer as well when that water Surface is hot in June! They can be caught trolling live bait and spoons up the lake in the winter it’s 15 feet deep around Houston! The Dam is near Jasper take care may God Bless you! Once you come to smith mountain lake you won’t want to come home! There Giant cats in there as well! On the way home swing through Florence to catch some blues at Wilson dam or wheeler! COME ON!!!

[@mikefarnkopf9813]

Great info on the braid. Just started using it on 1 pole last year. I agree with everything you have said in your videos comparing the pros and cons of mono vs braid. The one thing i dont like about what I've heard about braid , is that it is not as abrasive resistant as mono. I appreciate the info of the more economical braid. Now, does your amazon link include all purchases? My wife and i periodically buy random things on amazon.

Wow dude great price. Power pro. Been useing 12 years used to get 150 yards 12 dollars. Which yea 300 yards been 18 but yea now alot more so I can't really buy more. O got good deal 12 years ago had got 2 and 4 rolls of 12 pound till 60 pound. And it last along time but used the last of it no the ago and few reels lines been there 2 years some 6 years well I meed to change. So I need new but cheaper and been wanting the yellow that helps you see at night with a light. But 17 for 500 yards. Yes I'll try to order 1 roll and 1 next month. And I use Amazon I do reviews for people. But I've got few channels well there friends now they got links also. But none have line theres are more camping or survival gear. But I'm gonna use your link for the line. Do you have a store list were I can go click and order. You prob said but we'll guess I can go listen again lol. But thanks for the awesome shout out for there line if you like then I deff trust your opinion being your useing. I'll try today of I got enought. Prob need 60 or 50 for my big reels.

Is it round or flat I don’t like the stuff that cuts into the wraps on the reel you should of ate that striper

[@catfishdave8192]

I believe it is a round line. I had no trouble after that striper..the heavier the braid the less likely of digging in. Also run your drag a little looser to keep it from digging in. Braid has no stretch and bad things can happen with a sudden stop. If it don't break the line which will break at a lower poundage compared to mono you can rip the hook out of the fishes mouth. With mono you have give in the stretch. With braid you can give it some give with a softer rod and loosening the drag. My rods are very heavy action so I will run a little looser drag than with mono

And the AD wars start wonder what kind of braid your using, wonder where I can get some. So it begins, Its all about the mighty Dollar

[@catfishdave8192]

I put a lot of time and money in gas and actually missing out on fishing myself while editing these videos. 80 to 100 miles on my truck per trip and the fuel to do so. It is about the dollar for some because many people are getting ripped off by the stuff they only see on store shelves. I share lots of information including places to fish for guys that don't know. I lose these fishing spots for the most part when I do that. I could just not video and keep all the fish for me. I actually don't catch as many big fish now that I video because I fish everywhere trying to keep the scenery different and the videos interesting. Many a time my check at work is short because I didn't get up in time staying up too late to fish or edit videos. If I can get a little back for all the trouble then I will surely take it. People ask me how they can help. Ask me for hats and shirts and things they can buy from me to help me out. I have been asked for a patreon button so they can just flat out donate. I have not done the patreon thing even though I sure could and make a lot more money than the few cents I will get for selling this line. I am not selling the line to sell something I don't like or believe in. I am selling it because it works great and will save me and a ton of other people money buying it over name brand. I am me on these videos and I am honest on these videos and I am giving people what they are asking for. I feel no guilt, no shame, and I'm gonna fish on and continue to do the same.
