i've just bought a new spool of braid [ spiderwire ] off of ebay its a little bit cheeper than in any shop.bought some cheap stuff last year and had nothing but trouble with it so spent a bit extra this year havnt had time to put it to the test yet so i'll let u know chief

cheers wymo
by the way kell have you got a little brown whippit dog? ur face looks familiar wonderin if i spoke to u on the don in summer

I like fox gravitron braid - not sure if they do a 50lb version though?

Hi Kell
as Wymo says hes got some spiderwire and its good stuff(seen it being made), but i now use whiplash, its cheaper thats all.....

r u saying i look like a whippit dog wymo

yup caught any more carp ?????

I use Power Pro bought from ebay. A bloke called "fishing tackle online" has it about half retail price in all colours, strengths and spool sizes and usually get it in a couple of days. I pay about £20 for 300yds. Ebay US has it even cheaper but youve got to wait to get it shipped.

Only used power pro so couldnt comment on other brands.

most are decent but you will find a few that many favor
it is a personall thing i cant get on with whiplash or fireline
but love Penn dyneema and daiwa sensor braids power pro also scores highly for me as does shimano's antares braid

you can get power-pro on e-bay 300yds up to 50lb for £17.50 from a seller halibut, its a top braid , used berkely fireline dont think its as good as power-pro though,

penn's good but i actually prefer fireline.... like all berkeley lines it breaks at alot higher strain than is stated on the spool AND it behaves alot more like mono on the spool than conventional braids too!!!

I've just got some power pro Kell if you want to have a look at it give me a shout

I've not caught anything on it yet but im really impressed with it for casting its very smooth and seem to cast better than mono !!

I also got mine off ebay for £22.88 plus £1.99 postage
For 300 meters 50 LB

Adie

will have to take a look adie but cannot wait for you to catch on it would be too old then hehehe

Cheeky

get power pro its used all over the world because its the best

Another vote for Power pro...just one question. What's it going to be used for? Lures or bait fishing?
