Having never used braid, I would like some advice concerning whether and how to use it. The context is that I?m fishing with the kids and I want to use thin lines to get bites but want strong lines as they keep hooking carp (last weekend my daughter got a 6lb common ? nice). The obvious solution to this conflict is to go down the braided route. I saw one braid advertised that was as thin as normal 1.8lb mono but had a breaking strain of 8lb ? looks ideal but some questions:
Other than the cost involved, why shouldn?t I use braid?
Will I have to use different knots?
Is it more visible if float fishing?
Is it more easily damaged?
Many thanks
