I was looking at their digital scales for Monduran but noticed that they only go to 25kg. :blush: :blush:

re the braid I think Feral may have some.

Cheers

I bought some during their last promo. I got the 30 pound braid to try and thought it was good for the price. I used it at Awoonga and got a cm Barra no worries. I also got the 20 pound from aldi to compare with some 20 pound i had bought from a tackle shop and did a rough test on both where I rubbed them on the corner of a metal work bench. The aldi one was heaps harder to fray and break. It is certainly not a conclusive test but for braid at that price, why not?

[Feral]

No, I bought some Anaconda braid, not aldi. Mind you the anaconda braid, not impressed, it is the only braid I have ever had wind knot issues with.

wich one from annaconda feral

i've been using mojiko tournament for over a year now on a couple of reels and i love it

[Keen-as-fisho]

My old man swears by the mojiko braid, 6lb up to 50lb.

[Feral]

Yeah it is the mojiko stuff. Dont like it. It really catches the breeze when casting small lures.

i got some of that aldi braid last fishing sale .

its ok ,has caught fish .

been using aldi 17lb and 15 lb suffix .

only thing i noticed is when i had 3 rods out trawling ,and they all spun about and got tangled.

the aldi braid tangled worse then the suffix,so had ti cut it off .

where i could untangle the suffix.

the mono i got from aldi has a bad memory and is a bit of a pain but the longer i have had it on the rods and used it the better it gets .

i will get some more .cheap as chips ,and i need some lighter braid .

think i will get some braid ,tackle,some more lures and maybe one of there cheap over head rods .

I use the 8 & 10 pound and haven't had a problem. The braid I purchased did have a bit of a flat profile though but still casts well & lies well on the spool

Does it break easily as well?

The reason I ask is there was apparantly "a bad batch" of the stuff. We have replaced a few spools of clearly under preforming braid over the last month or so.

Angus it fishes well, just casts badly! Caught good fish on it, no breakages.

I have some 2lb mojiko braid that seems a bit brittle, dont use it much though to be honest....

[Davo_Dinkum]

well i went to aldi oxly , Thursday morning on the way to work.

well it was packed and no rods left,so went to work.

rang mun and she came through for me ,got me a rod and a roll of 8 lb braid .

i wanted some lighter braid as the lightest i have was 15 lb.

the rod looks ok ,old man checked it out ,he reckon is looks ok .

and will do me ,i don't go deep sea or shark fishing every often.
