[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1251067, member: 1132"] Dennis is offline, so I'll chip in. Each different type of line has varying degrees of sensitivity. How much depends on line type, #test and composition. A braided line is going to transmit information such as very soft strikes to your hands better, because it has a lot less stretch than a monofilament or flourocarbon line. You don't always need high levels of sensitivity, such as when fishing heavy bait tackle for catfish. If you're finesse fishing with small baits for bass and they're hitting short or barely mouthing a bait, a sensitive line and rod can be the difference between a boated fish and never even knowing you had one on the line. I'm not a big braided fan personally. I use a lot of flourocarbon on my baitcasters for crankbaits and worm fishing, to help get the bait into the strike zone better. Don't use it on spinning tackle unless you want to spend a lot of time fixing tangles. :) [/QUOTE]
