Benzeenees Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Just looked up braid on ebay. Prices are cheap. Does anyone know anything about the brands on offer - Jervis Walker Hercules, Pelagic, LR, Saratoga, Melaluka, Eco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caranx Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 In my opinion, save your money and buy something like Tuf line, Fins , Daiwa etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, You just don't know the quality of those type of things off ebay, not worth losing a good fish saving a few bucks when you can buy quality gear from tackle shops that you know they will perform well. The quality braids are also much nicer lines than those ebay things, i know people who've bought them and they are wirey, thick and messy to deal with.

caine Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I have used Pelagic Bluewater fishing Melaluka and have had no dramas, i only go the expensive stuff for light weight plastics or lures, cause you run into problems with the cheap stuff. but for heavier live baiting which is 90% of my fishing, the ebay stuff is the go. you can save up to 80% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzeenees Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks to all who responded. Tuf line is also available on ebay - missed it in my earlier list. Around $90 delivered for 600m of 20lb or 50lb. Is that a good price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shefford Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 $90 seems cheep for that amount + delivered. But depends how your locals price, it's cheap for the Gold Coast anyway, might buy some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a good price? That is a good price, some places you'd pay nearly that much for half that amount of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
