One more question; everybody seems to use conventional reels out here, yet in Florida they seem more keen to use spinning reels (until they get into the REALLY BIG sharks). Is there a logical reason for the difference, or is it more of a cultural/tradition type thing?

I wont let braid touch the water while soaking. fighting a fish is ok, but not while soaking. too many bad things happen. sand wears through it, it will slice other line with ease and if it fluffs on the cast, your doomed, its going to birdsnest. haha.
Slightly different scenario, but I'm from the midwest and grew up casting 65lb braid for muskies. I always felt braid was WAYYY more backlash resistant than mono. Seems to be two very separate schools of thought on braid vs mono out here.

Does anybody run 80lb braid main line direct to wire leader / 6-8oz weight, or is a mono shock leader necessary?
