Braid On Ebay - Any Good

[Benzeenees]

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.

In my opinion, save your money and buy something like Tuf line, Fins , Daiwa etc....

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.

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%

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?

$90 seems cheep for that amount + delivered.

But depends how your locals price, it's cheap for the Gold Coast anyway, might buy some.

That is a good price, some places you'd pay nearly that much for half that amount of line.
