Re: Best Tide For Punching The Delta?
Any tide.
One bitch about braid when it came out was that it dug into the spooled line upon set.
When punching you can use that "dig in" to remember exactly where or how far down that fish was in relation to the cover.
Comes in handy figuring out depths while punching.
