Bionic Braid

[gonegonefishin]

Hi guys,

Just wondering whether anyone has tried any of the bionic braid recently. I have used it in the past and found it to be great stuff, no problems at all. However, i just got a new spool of it, and i don't know whether it is a new formula or not but this stuff is just garbage.

The pink colour is all coming off and it is causing little lumps in my line as i wind in. I'm thinking about writing to the suppliers but just wanted to check if anyone else had the same problems....

Cheers, Lloyd

Hey mate,

There was an identical thread in the tackle column...

Check it out.

Hey there gonegonefishin. Yeah I did an identical thread to this one in the tackle section because I was asking for advice so here is a link so you can have a read of what was said if you haven't already done so. Regards,

thanks mate i didn't realise :P but it is exactly what im talking about. That pink residue that people talk about never happened with my first spool, and i find that if you guide the line onto the reel with your fingers it makes lumps where it all catches up on itself. It is only 12lb that i use on a daiwa luna, i like fishing light, but i can still say that it is great stuff. I haven't tried many 100% braids, because i have always been happy with this one. Might be time to make a change.....
Does anyone know where to get 4lb superbraid???

Cheers, Lloyd.

The Platypus 4lbs superbraid can be a bit hard to source.

You best bet is to get your favourite tackle store to order in what you need.
