Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted October 13, 2010 Super User Posted October 13, 2010 fireline braid does not break on casts only cheap braid or braid that is worn will snap on a cast. You seriously believe that, don't you? Throw a heavy enough lure with enough "oomph" behind it, get a backlash and then show me a bait that won't cast off with braid. Yeah, a 3/8oz jig won't do it. A 5oz Hudd or Punker most certainly will. Quote
Super User David P Posted October 13, 2010 Super User Posted October 13, 2010 fireline braid does not break on casts only cheap braid or braid that is worn will snap on a cast. Fireline definitely breaks, I haven't personally broken it on casts, but I have broken it with relative ease on snags. Has broken fair easier then a handful of other braids I have used. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted October 13, 2010 Super User Posted October 13, 2010 I had 30# Sonic break off yesterday with a medium diving Norman crankbait when I got a backlash. The line broke at the spool. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 13, 2010 Super User Posted October 13, 2010 fireline braid does not break on casts only cheap braid or braid that is worn will snap on a cast. Get real any braid will snap off if you get a back-lash. Quote

I do like Fireline for the $. 30# has performed well for me. I am trying Daiwa Samurai... TW box should be sitting at home by now. Quote

Get real any braid will snap off if you get a back-lash. Yep, or worn line or twisted around the the tip, not uncommon to snap even a light 1/2 oz lure, that's fishing. I've used a number of different braids and for my kind of fishing brand preference is not of the highest importance to me, only 1 brand I truly did not like. True I don't use b/c gear, only spinning, but LMB are not main quarry, most of my fish are in the "other species" section and 15 or 20# braid holds those guys just fine, even fishing over exposed coral. For my bass fishing it's 10 or 15# and no real issues outside of the norm. I'll take all the PP discounted I can find, Walmart $23 for 300 yds, I love the deal. Quote
WanderLust Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 After spooling up my new setup with Daiwa Samurai I can already tell it will be the only braid I use... Stuff is nuts... Quote

philsoreel Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 fireline braid does not break on casts only cheap braid or braid that is worn will snap on a cast. Fireline is the only braid I've ever seen break on a cast LOL!! Not saying it doesn't happen, hell that's simple physics. I swear I'm not trying to start an argument with you Dodge. I just thought it was very ironic and funny that I read your post while thinking that. Quote
OnthePotomac Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I recommend that all take a minute and read Tackle Tour's evaluation of three braids mention in this thread. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewpremiumbraidroundup.html Quote

Get real any braid will snap off if you get a back-lash. i have never snapped braid on a cast even with a backlash.i have been using braid since the early 1990's.i might agree it would happen with a 5 oz lure but i don't throw anything over 1 oz..worn line doesn't count because it should have been retied.

rubba bubba Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 All braid, even Fireline (which I love), will snap. Just because it hasn't happened to someone doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Quote

I can see their point about punching mats and whatnot. Quote

I really find it hard to believe that in the amount of years you have been fishing braid you have not snapped off on a cast. I mean I know I don't do it very often but it has happened more than maybe I'd like to admit. It doesn't take much weight either I casted off a Hollow belly frog with fifty lb power pro. I will tell you exactly how to do if you really want to know as well? Quote

Did it just the other day fishing for muskys. 50 lb pp braid, palomar knot, and a gigantulous storm soft swimbait. What causes that? The knot? Also... Does the new line squeal in the guides like fireline does? Quote
GTrombly Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 I snapper PP the first week I bought my first baitcaster. I watched my brand new bomber long A sail forever. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted October 17, 2010 Super User Posted October 17, 2010 i've never snapped braid, EVER. You guys must be casting like maniacs to snap it. Quote

Super User David P Posted October 17, 2010 Super User Posted October 17, 2010 Can anyone actually write a review that has actually used the line. Fact: Braid does break, it is not indestructible. Regardless of whether you have broken it or not, it does break, braid does get weak and can get bad spots, it can break from a fish, rock, or casting. Quote

Regardless of whether you have broken it or not, it does break, braid does get weak and can get bad spots, it can break from a fish, rock, or casting. that's why you need to retie even if it is braid.i've never had quality braid that wasn't worn snap on me.i've had worn braid break or braid get cut on rocks but never had fresh quality braid snap on a cast or a backlash stopped cast.
