I am going to show you just what cable does on a downrigger and how nasty it can be. Switch to Braid guys for the following benefits.

1.) Quieter
2.) Easier on hands
3.) No memory
4.) Does not kink
5.) Does not pass electric currents to the ball
6.) Less blow back if 200lbs or less. 250lb braid is about equivalent to cable.
7.) Can just trim and re-tie any time you want but use a Palomar knot is recommended.
