Ebay braid (or should I say rope?)

[Feral]

Got myself some Braid from Ebay, did not realise it was the same mob Ray got a spool off for Awoonga, if I did I would not have bothered.

Its supposed to be 6lb braid, 0.10mm diameter, yet when I loaded it up on my 2000 series reel, the spool was full with barely half the 200m roll emptied, which makes it about 0.2mm diameter!

It was cheap enough, and is nice and soft, casts well etc, but way thicker than they claim! Its barely thinner than regular mono of the same rating.

So if you ebaying, avoid Braid from \"bluewater fishing\", the lures I got from them were good though.
