alasdair Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hi guys, just bought myself a birthday present. Daiwa Opus Bull 6000, and a Livefibre RLF8 10-15k rod. Looking to spool it with 30lb braid and running 25lb flouro leader... The question is what braid to choose, what are the advantages/disatvantages of the different types. Look forward to reading your opinions alasdair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softplasticsjunkie Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Mate...Just go down to your tackle store and get your self some Fireline... Good Braid and very user friendly Harry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh88 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hi Alasdair, I'm assuming you'll be targeting kings, maybe jewies with that sort of outfit?? If i was you i would probably put some Sufix Perfomance Braid on it, its great quality with a very nice texture and is very well suited to fishing for bigger, stronger fish. You could even go up to 40 or 50lb if you wanted, depends on what you're targeting and where you're fishing though. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alasdair Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Cheers guys. I have fireline on one of my lighter outfits and am pretty happy with it. From what I've read the guys that fish with the stronger breaking strains don't seem to rate it as much. Hi Josh, yep hopefully get into some kings Have looked up the Sufix performance and it seems to have some fans, might have to give it a try.. Thanks again alasdair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Josh, yep hopefully get into some kings Have looked up the Sufix performance and it seems to have some fans, might have to give it a try.. Thanks again alasdair I would put 30-50lb Sensor or Fins on it. I am not a fan of Suffix (my personal opinion so don't shoot me down). Your leader should be a bit heavier for mine. Maybe 50lb. I assume you are after Kings and Jews etc... You are right about the heavier Fireline.. very stiff and a bit cumbersome.
