braided line for downriggers

[Tarponjim]

I don't troll all that much, but I like the braid because it eliminates the annoying sound of the cable. It does, however, affect some electric downriggers. On my cannon electric, the feature that stops the ball when it reaches the surface doesn't work. I also must hold the knob while raising the ball instead of just popping it up and waiting for it. The cable acts as some sort of ground on some electrics. On a manual, it would have no effect. I do suspect it would affect bottom-tracking riggers, though I've never talked with anyone with a bottom-tracker that has made the switch.
