Josh88 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thought i'd would do a poll to see what eveybody's favourite Braid is. I know that it may vary in one person from one line class to another but you can only choose 1 so choose your favourite line for your favourite type of fishing.

The Iceman Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I use 2lb crystal fireline a lot because it suits my current style of fishing and its affordable(emphasis on affordable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landbased Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 for some reason i like x-braid for my needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewgaffer Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I use Power Pro, Ande and Tuff Line. I feel the most confident using Power Pro I suppose it's because it costs a bit more and I also like the feel of Tuff Line but I didn't vote for it because I have never compared Tuff Line to any of the other brands in the poll to give an opinion.

Cheers jewgaffer I've used power pro a bit Byron and like that it is quite thin but didn't like the tangles, fraying and losing the colour so much, that was a couple of years ago though, still have it on a couple of reels i think. They use it in the states more though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I am a big fan of Gold core. Good knot strengh, very soft & untangles very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netic Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 So hard to gauge......For smaller braids i prefer tufline XP but for 60lb and over i like Daiwa Sensor and Varivas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frangkie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 tuff line definately for heavy applications. it is round and breaks above it's rated breaking strain and never seems to tangle up. top stuff and affordable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmak Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Daiwa TD Sensor braid for me too. Using 4lb - casts a mile, no memory, no fraying and still bright orange! Pity it's not in the poll ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.dawg Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 i prefer mono and flurocarbon find braid gets no where near as many hits as mono or fluorocarbon line tried many braids like fireline and tuffline in 6lb 20lb and 50lb but they never get as many fish as my rods with vanish or japanese mono lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportfish Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I like Platil super braid - dont know why, just like the feel of it, ,handles OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigtempo Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 i use fireline in 4lb and 6 lb for eustury fishing and i use long fluro leaders 2 mtrs minimum and have no problems with shying fish [ i think] im about to load up a reel with 20 lb braid so acording to the graph should i be load with something like tuff line xp in a 10 lb because its breaking strain is actually 22lb and would have a thinner diameter???? i dont know i am so confussed cheers craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
