Downrigger braid vs stainless

[work2fish]

I'm running scotty 2116 with stainless wire I wanted to experiment with one and try the heaviest lb test scotty braid to kill the voltage. what is everyone's opinion about running downrigger braid vs stainless cable ?

I was under the impression the stray voltage was a good thing??

Depends. Some argue either way but it can be measured. Alot of people neutralize them. Some get black boxes where it can be adjusted. Just another variable if you ask me.

IF you are going to do it.....go all out.  The sound of wire hum under the water is so loud having one rigger with wire and another with braid will defeat the purpose.

Yeah. Just kind if want a control.

The Hum is one thing the electrical conduction is another. Have you run the braid? Does it collect fleas or slip?
