GTN-NY Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 I haven’t used braid in 30 yrs. I do still have a spinning spool loaded with 50 or 60lb test (that’s all it came in then). Does the new stuff sink? I wanted to try some this year. Quote
Super User bulldog1935 Posted February 5, 2021 Super User Posted February 5, 2021 all braided PE is 0.98 the density of water, so braid floats. The exceptions are hybrid braids adding ester fibers, which are made to sink. Fluorocarbon is still the densest and fastest-sinking line. (borrowed from Jun at JapanTackle) 2 1 Quote

Super User FryDog62 Posted February 5, 2021 Super User Posted February 5, 2021 I have heard that YGK G-Soul SS112 is a sinking braided line, but I have not tried it myself. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/YGK_G-Soul_SS112_Sinking_Braided_Line_Yellow_164yd/descpage-YGKGSSB.html 2 Quote

Super User FryDog62 Posted February 5, 2021 Super User Posted February 5, 2021 I have plenty of braid or would spool up a reel and try it this season... curious to know. If you try it, give us a report back. Thx 1 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted February 5, 2021 Super User Posted February 5, 2021 I’ve been using the YGK for nearly 2 years and can confirm that it sinks.
