Line Choices for Jig Fishing Walleye | Mono vs. Braid

Line choices for jig fishing walleye. A common debate is braid versus monofilament. Break down of when we prefer braid and when we prefer mono.
As a rule of thumb, we prefer mono when using live bait like a jig and minnow. We also like mono whenever the bite is tough or if we are missing fish or loosing fish on braid.
We often prefer braid when using jigs and plastics, hair jigs or when pitching jigs around weeds. We also like braid when fishing vertical over deep water.
We explain how the stretch of mono influences the action of the jig and also enables fish to suck in the jig without as much resistance.
We encourage anglers to get comfortable with both mono and braid as both have a time and place. At the end of the day, if you are missing fish with braid, switch to mono. If you are not getting as many bites, switch to mono. If you are dumping fish on mono or can’t snap weeds off… switch to braid.

Years Ago went on a spring trip to Northern Manitoba with some buddies, I was in love with spiderwire at the time and they were using mono and Out fishing me 20:1. I was stubborn and refused to change for the first couple days. Buddy lent me a rod with Mono just to try and Yeah the Braid was the Problem.......

Yes been there and done that. I had my teeth kicked in like that a few times as well and learned my lesson. 😂

Isnt the best of both worlds just using braid with a mono/fluro leader

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

Straight mono has a different look and stretch to the rod tip compared to braid with a leader. More glide on the jig. When I use braid, I do always use a fluorocarbon or sometimes a mono leader that is 2-4 feet long.
