I just tried out airflo miracle braid for the first time a couple of week ago. What I had to fish for was landlocked stripers that were in a lake - technically it is a reservoir, but don't tell them that. So no current, basically spey casing and stripping a clouser minnow. So when I stripped the line it made a pretty loud noise going through the guides, though it seemed to shoot just fine in spite of the friction.
My question is: should I be treating this shooting line in some way? Any way to make it quieter? Does the sound bother anyone else? I was even wondering if the sound got telegraphed into the water (for striped bass that might even be an attractant, I don't know), but probably the shooting head would damp out the sound before it travel down to the fly. So I like everything else about this running line, just haven't come to terms with the bzerr, bzerr, bzerr. Should I seek psychological help?
