Thread: SPIDER WIRE---EZ Braid?????????

I use it on my jigging poles and spinning reels. I like that it has zero memory for the spinning reels. You are right about the feel of the thump. It also works great with a slip cork.

Never used the E Z braid but you have to be careful with it on some jig's. It is so small and slick it will pull out of the little space in the eye of the hook. Might just double check them and give that little eye a extra squeez with the plyers. I have used all kinds of braid and love the sensitivity and strength.

Never tried the spider wire but I do use the power pro with a loop knot and yes sometimes it pulls through the gap I didn't notice in the jig eye as well

I'm sure you have to be very careful not to break your jig pole if you hang up.

I've had a couple poles snap, one on a hook set and another trying to get a jig loose, perhaps those poles were all ready compromised

Might be cheaper to loose the jig?

I've been using braid for a few years now and really like the way it fishes. I occasionally use fluorocarbon or fluorocarbon leaders.

I used the 6 or 8 lb test and all it did was stay wrapped up in my spools. Maybe the line was too lite but I thought that was supposed to be the benefit. Now I just run 6 or 8 lb monofilament.

I use braid and yes have some Spider Wire as well as Berkley, but seem to like Power Pro more and especially side last year when they came out wight their Super Slick! I use the 10/2 in all of them, but did also get some 15# that I have not tried yet.

Use spider wire and light wire hooks (Capps and Coleman) and never broke a pole, the hook will straighten on a snag. The wire is better to see bites, bur loves to wrap around the eyes on the end, and the more you try to shake it the worse it gets, you end up having to unravel by hand. Worth it though.
