Skspacemonkey Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I’m thinking on putting braid on a heavy rod for frogging, jigs Andrew punching. What is a good quality braid that isn’t so expensive? Thanks! Quote

papajoe222 Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Welcome! Braid is a good choice for those techniques. It'll last for a long time, so go with the best you can afford. Cabela's house brand has served many of the folks I've instructed and the hi-vis color is awesome for detecting those bites you don't feel initially. PowerPro is another I've recommended. Quote
Yumeya Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 What do you consider expensive? Take a look at Sufix and Pline tcb8 Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted January 13, 2018 Super User Posted January 13, 2018 Original PowerPro is good, but I like Sufix Performance better. It is quieter thru the guides. Cost is a couple dollars more than KastKing...of which I have no experience with. Quote
nascar2428 Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I haven't tried Kastking braid yet(waiting for winter to end), I received a spool when I purchased a reel. However based on Bluebasser's recommendation and the fact that you can get 65lb 8 strand on a 328yd spool for $15. Kastking sounds like a good alternative. None of the other mentioned brands come close to that. Quote
Super User Boomstick Posted January 13, 2018 Super User Posted January 13, 2018 I've had great luck with Daiwa J-Braid x8 (8 strand). You can get it on amazon for usually $16-18 depending on the day for 330 yards. It definitely doesn't fray as badly as any of the Spider Wires I've tried. Power Pro and Sufix 832 are also acceptable.
