Braid preference

[agnes_jack]

I'n the heavier line classes I like super braid and bionic, on the lighter side of things I prefer fireline. Have used livefibre braid, which I have no probs with either.

has anyone used rapala squidgy braid? i have only ever used fireline and i thought that it was so great, that i have never bothered to spend money on anything else. I have used spidrewire fusion and it is..... $**T...

Bionic all the way! my Ct400 loves this stuff. Fireline is garbage as i found out on the weekend using it on my Ct250. Not happy Jan. >

What was the problem? Bad knot strength? Abrasion resistance?

I only ask because I have used Fireline in the 20-30lb range for some time and never had a problem with it. Maybe you are using a different line class that isn't as good?

Wat problem's did u have with the fireline? you werent using fireline xds where u? because i admit that is a really $H!T line, but i have never heard anyone say a bad word about normal fireline. I love the stuff, never use anything other..... but i only use it in the breaking strains between 4lb and 10lb....

Superbraid from Platypus for me!

[Any_Weather]

Have tried alot of different brands in a variety of strengths from 15lb to 50lb and find Bionic to be the best and longest lasting.

[DNO40]

Nothing but 30lb or 50lb fins (green) for me. Excellent line strength and workability and have never had trouble with abrasion in the sticks.

Wouldn't use anything else after having tried several other brands.

bionic of course ........... they advertise on some web site i seen some where?

[NIZ]

i voted other as the new Sufix matrix pro isn't listed as well as some of the other jap branded braid like daiwa 8. BTW fireline shouldn't count as its not a true braid.

[mharper2001]

I have tried a few and found Fins works best for me .

I have used fireline on a abu baitcaster for 2 years and within 4 or 5 trips the fireline was fluffed up like a feather duster but it still casts great .Has anyone had the same problem?I dont know whether this is normal with braids
