Re: Do party boats allow braid for striped bass?
I've never had a problem on any party boat using braid. Now the tuna trips I do understand are different. I use a short length of mono as a bite tippet for blues and bass.
If I do get a tangle I just cut my hardware off and if need cut my line up higher. It's quicker to retie then to sit there and figure out a tangle. The only braid that I've found that just about impossible to untangle is power pro.

Re: Do party boats allow braid for striped bass?
It's common courtesy not using braid when dealing with bigger fish. If a mate gets that stuff wrapped around his hand while untying a tangle and there is a fish on one of the lines, he is gonna get cut.

Re: Do party boats allow braid for striped bass?
The real answer is to ask the boat you're going to fish on...
As a general rule bottom fishing braid with a topshot is the preference. I have different setups for party and charter boats. With a party boat for stripers stick with straight mono its easier, causes less problems and is fine fish to with whether fishing clams, jigs, or bunker. When bunker/stripers cross lines with braid and mono its a bad ending. However some limited trips may say its ok, but again as a general rule, nix the braid for stripers on a PB.
