Josh88 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 wondering what people think of platil millenium braid, a guy in my local tackle shop was trying to sell that to me today but it seemed very expensive. Is it worth the extra dollars? Mate i can't say on the Platil millenium but i have used regular platil braid before and found it pretty mediocre, definitely better lines out there imo and i'd say there are probably better and cheaper lines than the millenium one also.

austwave Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) I use a number of braids <20lb also. My light gear I use sunline Castaway 10lb IGFA it is super fine for light plastics and smal bream/trout HB lures. Also use tufline, powerpro and fireline have no real issue with any but the castaway is great on anything super light Edited October 5, 2009 by Austwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hard to go past Fireline for light eggbeaters. Its strong, ties a good knot, casts well and relatively inexpensive. I really like the 4 and 6lb stuff in particular. My experiences with ultra-light "true" braids on eggbeaters have not been pleasant to say the least. Have heard very good things about Stren Microfuse. Will give it a go this season. Cheers Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchin Jack Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Mostly use Spiderwire Stealth Code Red Braid on my reels these days, still have others with other "no name" kinda brands that are still holding up but the Code Red is holding up pretty good so far.

Guest Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 For the really good feeling braid and great castability I cannot go past platypus super line and its great in the 4lb and 10lb and hardly ever knots up. I use that exclusively for bassin and jews and it has never let me down in 5 yrs. Cheers Stewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Stewy I'm with you Stewy, Although I don't use really light stuff the Platypus line has been the best for me, it seems to have a more freindly feel to it & certainly doesn't cause the dramas I've had with Fins on my calcuttas. (Man I've had the worse birdsnests with that stuff right at the most inappropriate times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewgaffer Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 ......I use that exclusively for bassin and jews and it has never let me down in 5 yrs. Cheers Stewy Thanks Stewy, This should help me day by day for the time being, but does anyone know which braid would more reliable over a 10 year span ?
