Fishing Braid

[mick65]

Its that time of year when I strip my boat reels down, and change the line/ braid.
Can you please post your views on what is the best / worst type of braid to get.

Many thanks.

about 90% of our fishing is done with 20lb fire line
and we cant fault it and this is what we use for wrecking
it is not the thinest but has a coating on it and if you get tangled with anyone it will undoo very easy not like others

Dynon is a robust braid but the downside is that it soaks up water like a big old sponge which takes the edge off bite detection and tide-cutting performance. Fireline is probably the strongest fused line out there, but it is very thick in comparison to most modern braided/fused lines, and tests show the actual braking strains to be nearer twice that advertised on the spools. Try a simple spring-balance pull-test for yourself…you will be surprised at the results.
Having used most of the braids available, I would suggest that Power Pro and the new Daiwa Accudepth are currently the best available.

Buy Dynon 3000 catches the fish LOL

 

[demonfork]

Not the braid that catches Norman, it\'s the bloke on the thick end of the rod!!!

Cheers lads for your help.
