is braided mono abbrasive?

[summer salt]

I recently made a shooting head out of a 21ft section of LC-13 and 100ft section of 50lb test Cortland braided mono for my 8wt. TFO TiCrx.I inserted an inch and a half of the LC13 into the braided mono, whip finished it,put on a coat of Pliobond then a thin coat of Aquaseal. So far I've used it a half dozen times and have caught well over 150 schoolies on it but am concerned about the abbrasive sound the braided mono makes when I'm stripping the line in. The setup casts beautifully with alot less tangles than I was previously getting with the running line on my 300gr. Orvis Depth Charge but I'm wondering if the braided mono will cut the guides in time. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rod

This stuff is designed to be used as a shooting line and is relitively soft . What your hearing is teh bumps going through the guides. The only downside I know of is that braided mono tends to streach allot so long distance hook sets suffer. i used it for a while myself then converted to a thin floating running line.

Hi weehooker,
Thanks for the reply.As I said in my post the reason I tried the braided mono was because of tangles in the Orvis Depth Charge even after stretching( which the braided mono doesn't require).Any problems with tangling of the floating running line?

I have used Trilene Big Game 0.60mm (perhaps 0.65) thickness green color with weights 9 and higher. It is really cheap compared to Sunset Amnesia 40lbs. Spool it 50 meters and cut two meters at start of fishing trip and replace all when casts get close to backing. It gets bends if you step on it when boatfishing and tangles but so do all hard shooting lines.

I think Ken Sawada Flat Beam shoots a bit better but reel soaking and line stretching is necessary but worth it. I think Sawada has a new shooting line type.
