    Braid on surf/rock setup ?

    Hey fishos, some advice pls

    I have braid on my softbait rod / spinning reel, and it is awesome. Casts further and super sensitive for feeling bites/knocks.

    Question is : worth looking at converting my larger coffee-grinder reels to braid for surf casting and rock fishing ? Currently spooled with line that feels like a bugy cord compared to the braid

    Online there's all kinds of horror stories about fingers being sliced open by braid when casting larger weight rigs. Is that just an issue when you hold the line against the rod when casting with a spinning reel ? I've never used a conventional / overhead reel, but it doesn't look like there would be that much chance of slicing a finger with those ?
