More about braid

[Oblickta]

I used braid for the first time last year and was well impressed

I always give me tackle (fishing) a good wash after every trip and soak me reels in freshwater b4 oiling and storing ready for the next time.

Will last years braid be ok to use again or will it need replacing?

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Should be fine mate ,I had no bother with mine ...until it snapped off of course lol.

 

[Oblickta]

Steve does my memory serve me right and didn\'t you post something ages ago about loosing loads of braid in one go or was it someone else?
