When I moved from California to Florida, to learn how to dissect heavily vegetated lakes, I didn't realize that I would develop such an affinity for fishing heavy cover.  Now it is my favorite way to fish, and because of this, braided line has become a standard for my fishing, and I have learned to understand what separates good braid from poor braid.

"What advice can you give a guy starting off with a baitcaster?  I have used a spinning reel my whole life, and I am wanting to add a new weapon to my game.  What would be some tips of do's and don'ts with this type of reel?"
