What pound braid for shark fishing in the surf?

[Ihunt]

Use 65-pound-test braided line for your main line when surf fishing for sharks. Braided line stretches relatively little, which will enable you to achieve a solid hookset, and it will also withstand abrasion better than monofilament lines will. However, you can't simply tie your hook on to the end of your main line.

Mono is more abrasion resistant than braid by a long shot. It’s the reason the land based guys in Florida use a top shot of mono. Braid, rubbing in the sand, will not last very long.
