What brand and size BRAID?

[mdk_1234]

I use power pro green 10lb with 6lb mono leader for spider rigging. I use mono for jigging. don't have live scope

Any reason you prefer mono vs fluro for leader?

15lb. diawa j braid x 4 hi-viz yellow with a 10lb. mono leader for me but i'm mostly fishing standing submerged trees & brush piles. If strictly open water i'd probably drop down to 10lb & use a long 8lb. mono leader. I'm talking clear water here. If i fished dirty water all of the time i'd never use a leader.

The braid I use in salt water is the best out of about 8 different ones I’ve tried, and it’s power pro super slick v2 in 10 lb moonshine. Bought some of the blue last time for a new reel from availability. Way tough and holds knots well. I also agree with Jack about the 8 lb, good stuff. I mostly throw Varivas very small braid on my ultralight stuff and I have lots of those. I’m not looking further but I’ll listen to what folks say.

I use Suffix 832 6lb on my crappie rods. Seems to cast well and the color stays for a while.

Kastking super silky8 8lb hivis , Berkley Vanish 6lb leader or 6lb/4lb. Cast 1/32 a mile and skips under docks easy. 300yds for same price as most other brands at 150yds. The color does fade faster than power pro. I replace my line every month or more so it works for me

I have tried a few different brands and haven't found one I care for. What are you using? Brand and size please.

Ive tried a ton. Ive settled on spiderwire stealth for the bulk of my reels, and 832 for the ones i need extra casting distance.

Power pro wind knotted real bad. The kastking ones i tried were either rope or turned soft and weak quickly. Amazon cheapos were extremely weak. Fireline is just strange feeling and digs in the spool pretty bad. I do actually like the micro fireline 2-4lb for some micro light stuff, its not bad.

6 or 8 lb Sufix 832 with 6lb hybrid leader. This braid sink so not create such a big bowl at long cast, smaller diameter help cut through water as well as casting distance and can feel the subtle bite better. I also use Nanofill exclusively for both techniques but the line is discontinued and worst in wind. Next fill up spool I’ll be using 12lb ice Gliss line.
