Fish Man Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 ok guys i am considering the switch to braid and have a few questions., 1.what is your favorite/best braided line, 2. what advantages does braid have over mono and what should i us it for, and 3.if i use 8# test mono is 8# braid the same or stronger than the mono Quote
Cephkiller Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I like Stren, but I've heard Sufix is excellent also. Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 I use stren super braid. I'm still a braided line novice but I like the texture better than spiderwire and powerpro. Power pro and Spiderwire feel like dental floss and Spiderwire tends to shred. I don't know anything about which one is better but I don't like the shredding effect. Quote
flyphisher # Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 I used power pro for 5 years before switching to the new Spiderwire stealth. I really like it for what i use it for. Also keeps its color alot better than other braids... Use 12 lb dia. 50lb test. on one of my flipping/frog rods. All my other reels have P-line Cx and P-flourocarbon. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted May 29, 2007 Super User Posted May 29, 2007 I use PP for grass in 12 lb test diamater 30 lb test ,but then again i only fish grass about 1% of the time 8-) Quote
Super User FishTank Posted May 29, 2007 Super User Posted May 29, 2007 I like PowerPro the best (50lb) and Sufix second. Both are great lines. Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Cabelas RipCord Si Plus - I've used many braids and this is the best in my opinion. Quote
SimonSays Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 PP = 1st and Suffix = 2nd for me Briad is more sentitivity and strength with a lower line diameter compared to mono, no stretch and can take a beating Quote
Super User RoLo Posted May 30, 2007 Super User Posted May 30, 2007 Power Pro was the only line I ever put on a spinning reel that completely killed my interest in all other lines. A better line I'm not looking for. Roger Quote
foul hooked Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I've only used Stren and Pline braids. Both work great. Quote
