I would not use braid for cranks. When a bass hits a crank, it usually tries to suck it in from behind, so the soft rod and stretch from fluoro or mono is a must. With braid, you are going to rip the lure away from the fish on a lot of hooksets. If you don’t want to waste the 80# braid, I would transfer it over to the Curado for frogs and big plastics. I would spool the toro up with 12# or 14# mono for cranks, or go with fluoro if you don’t mind spending the extra money.
