    Default What brand and size BRAID?


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

    Mostly drop shot. Sniping with live scope. Some casting and retrieve under a cork

    I like k9 white. 10lb for casting and 20lb for dipping. Stay away from anything under 8 strand. I find that you get less tip wraps with 8 strand braid.

    I only cast and retrieve a 1/19 jig head so the type braid I use would not be suitable for how you’re fishing. But, Varivas makes some of the finest braid in the world. Check out their site as they have a broad selection that would fit how you fish.

    Power Pro Slick 8 V2 in moonshine color for me. I like to 1lbs diameter 8lbs. It is hard to find. I use to 2/10 most often
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    I do a lot of drop shot fishing, jig fishing is secondary.

    Diawa dark green 8x 8# test. The 2 main lakes I fish have a ton of catfish in them. I target bluegill, perch & crappie and always end up with several catfish.
