Wanted wanted.mint saltist 20 or fathom 15

Don't do it lol very difficult to do and very dangerous I nearly lost a thumb when my reel started to fluff up. I think Stewart 1971 uses it a lot I would pick his brains first

been looking on wsff and a lad on there loves it.what braid did you try mate
 
Havent you just bought a fathom m8 erm and a trq and a saltist.try it on one of them. I tried it years ago with fireline on a mag elite.nothing to be gained as it doesn't go as far as mono on a multi and as said could be dangerous on ya digits. Although the I reckon its fairly dangerous on a coffee grinder. Lol.

Key thing is not to get greedy with the diameter and use a round profile braid. I've got 66lb Power Pro (.36mm) on my Saltist 20 (your old Saltist 20 Peter, which IIRC was Mart's old Saltist 20 that he doctored to make it faster) and it goes absolutely fine. It's never going to cast as far as the .35mm mono on my 7HT Mags but that's not what I use it for. It's perfect for mixed - rough ground where a decent cast can be handy (some Shields marks for example) and with an 80lb leader attached with a Bimini / Slim Beauty knot I pull out of most snags before the 60lb rotten bottom goes.
 
66lb PowerPro for me too :)

Been using it for around 2 years on Saltist 20s

88lb of the same Braid on the 30s for rougher ground
