catch anything Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 im thinking about getting some braided fishing for my jig and worm rod whats a good brand to use Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Power Pro is decent and affordable. Suffix 832 and Samurai are arguably better handling but a little more expensive. I have power pro on several reels right now. 1 Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted August 9, 2011 Super User Posted August 9, 2011 Power Pro works for me. 1 Quote

zachb34 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 832 is smoother but power pro holds its color longer.power pro is alot cheaper too. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted August 10, 2011 Super User Posted August 10, 2011 Does anyone use Spiderwire? Quote
McBee Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I use spiderwire stealth braid. For the price I have no complaints. Quote
zachb34 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Does anyone use Spiderwire? My dad uses the invisibraid and loves it ive handled it before and its smooth but it doesnt seem popular on here. Quote
bassinbrian Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Ive been using Samurai and Suffix performance. Quote
Senkoman12 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 suffix performance braid. smoothest reasonably priced braid out there Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted August 10, 2011 Super User Posted August 10, 2011 If you don't have much money , go with power pro. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I use both PowerPro and Spiderwire Stealth on a regular basis. Like them both and rarely have any problems. Quote
catch anything Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 have any of yall of tried sufix proformance braid Quote
Avid Angler FL Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 Whatever ya'll do, DON'T use berkley fireline! It's awful. Way too hard to trim, knots don't tie well with it, and it doesn't handle well. Just my $0.02 By the way though, Berkley DOES make awesome products, just not when it comes to their braided lines. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted August 13, 2011 Super User Posted August 13, 2011 have any of yall of tried sufix proformance braid I have 20# SPB but the stuff is very noisy sounds like a violin while reeling just rubbing my fingers over it feel a bit rough. I dont use it much because of this. Ive used PP for years and never had this type of noise issue. The only good thing was SPB was on clearance at Dick's and got 300yds for $10. Quote

Super User Grey Wolf Posted August 13, 2011 Super User Posted August 13, 2011 One persons pot of gold is another persons pot of crap. Just saying Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted August 13, 2011 Super User Posted August 13, 2011 thats strange. i use SPB and it is the smoothest braid i have ever used Power Pro is one of the roughest braids made. Even the lowly Suffix is not as rough. Bias or uninformed has a lot to do with one's preference. Quote
Dave T. Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I've tried many of the braids. Some have certain advantages over others. The braid that works best for me (at this point LOL) is Sufix 832. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted August 15, 2011 Super User Posted August 15, 2011 thats strange. i use SPB and it is the smoothest braid i have ever used My comparison is from 20# of both makes PP-SPB and on the same rod, St Croix Premier, SPB is much louder. I also have Stren Sonic Braid and SPB is louder than that but the Sonic Braid is just 8#. The thing with Sonic braid it seemed to have more coating on it than either PP or SPB and the coating built-up on tne line guide of baitcaster. A squirt of line conditioner took care of that. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted August 15, 2011 Super User Posted August 15, 2011 All braid sucks, it's a matter of one sucking less than the other. I've been fishing Seaguar Kanzen and have found it superior to any other braid I've fished. It's the least noisy and most abrasion resistant that I've found. It's not fast to fade, either, and it's got reasonable diameters. It also ties very good knots without resorting to using glue, as some would have you do. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted August 15, 2011 Super User Posted August 15, 2011 As far as I'm concerned braided lines need only do 2 things for me, a good strong knot and the ability to handle fish without breaking. Any noise from the line is no issue for me, I really pay no attention. I've purchased only 1 product that I did not care for, that was 5 years ago so I would try it again. As for now I'm pleased with what I'm using, especially if it's on sale. Quote
