fishinphilly Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 did anyone ever use the 2lb test diameter braid? what do you use it for? Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 I used 10/2 powerpro(10lb test-2lb dia) for quite a few years on one of my baitcasters. Senkos, lipless cranks, spinnerbaits, anything really. I use it with Spro frog to catch at the time my PB bass from slop pictured below and had to get it over the limb as well 1 Quote
Alpha Male Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I use 8lb spiderwire braid with an equivalent of 1lb mono for walleye fishing and plastics with a leader. but I only use it on spinning reels Quote
Super User Scott F Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 I use 8 pound test Fireline on all my spinning reels. It's just slightly thicker than 2 pound test mono. Catch lots of smallmouth, pike, walleye and largemouth. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 I use 10lb PP on all my spinning gear. Caught a mess of 6 pounders on it with zero problems. Swear by the stuff. Quote
HookdUP Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I think this gentleman means 2lb braid 1 Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 I think this gentleman means 2lb braid on a finesse baitcaster I assume Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 The lowest pound test braid I've personally used is Power Pro Micro Line 4#. Best I remember it's sub 1# test mono in dia. Great stuff, I absolutely love it, been using the same spool on my ultra light spinning rod for going on 3 years now with zero problems or breaks. I'm amazed every time I fish with it at the distance I can cast micro lures for Crappie and Bream. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I have used 2lb Fireline of spinning reels for stream trout for a while now, only problem is that it has 0 abrasion resistance, other than that, its pretty good. Quote
Alpha Male Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I think this gentleman means 2lb braid thats not how i read it...and I have never seen braid that small. FWIW if you want something smaller I would recommend trying berkley nano-fil. from my understanding its kinda like a mono-filament-braid. you would need to do your own research but it goes al the way down to 1lb test that is .001". after looking at the braided lines on TW gamma torque has the thinnest daimeter. 10lb gamma is .004" Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 19, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 19, 2015 did anyone ever use the 2lb test diameter braid? what do you use it for? I use it on my shakyhead and dropshot rod. Quote
Preytorien Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I use it in the river on my spinning reel for smallmouth. Works great. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 I use 4lb nanofil on an ultralight spinning setup I use for streams. Good stuff actually, but it gets progressively worse and worse the larger the diameter gets. Quote
