Some of you may have trouble believing this but I often put on snorkle gear and go treasure (rapala) hunting when the river runs clear and the fishing is slow, and I have seen this first hand in many popular holes.
Purpose of the braid backing is for the limpness and great casting ability of braid IMO.

Sorry to de-rail but what river do you go rapala hunting in? just out of curiosity.
