What's the best braid to buy. Looking at spider wire smooth at 20lb but any advice be appreciated .

I started out with Chinese spectre braid off eBay which was fine but I now use diawa J braid or Spiderwire. They are good solid lines. You can get thinner braids for the same breaking strains but they are more expensive. I think the diawa and spiderwire is a good 'middle ground'."In order to becomes old and wise, first you must be young and stupid."

Going for the 15-40 m8Comment

15-40g bushwacker? That's the same as ive got. My smallest lures are 10g and it will throw them fine. Most lure fishing is fairly close in mate so huge distances are not important. I doubt you would need to chuck a lure beyond 30yds on most marks. Most pollock I've taken have literally been almost down the side!
Did you decide on the braid?"In order to becomes old and wise, first you must be young and stupid."

Nah mate, he was after a rod as well and 15-40g is the casting weight of one of the bushwacker rods he was looking at so with him mentioning 15-40 I was asking if he meant the rod! I think he mentioned 15-40 in answer to Andys question about what rod he was getting!!Originally posted by regpude View Postbushwacker.
