Been thinking lately about why coated braid is used so much more now. I get anti tangle properties but surely a soft braid hook link behaves more naturally underwater??

what is naturally under water? a twig on the bottom is stiff, not soft for example.

Assume he means the hook bait will behave more naturally

Yeah obviously as in a rig and the bait lol.

Dependant on rig i like the slight stiffness between hookbait and lead that I get with coated braid. I always tend to strip off a section though to allow hookbait to sit and act more naturally.

It's generally down to the anti tangle properties.
There are other variables in the way you fish, baits and length.

Yeah fair points
