Recommended Posts

i dont chase only big sharks sure they are great but im also chasing flathead and bream and i like to cast a lure sx60 is a good one. has anyone got expeerience on what is the best braid to put onto my reel. i want to cast long i prefer not to use a eggbeater reel as i control the fight best with overheads.

Gee you'd be keen!

Fireline is not a true braid, its a gelspun, IE a fused line, so you would have no hope of unraveling that.

I have a really nice american braid, (cant remember the brand), but as it wears, it actually has an outer woven casing that comes off. As it is only 6lb braid this happens often!

Some us us argue over this but I've found that lighter braids tend to suffer from line digging after fighting a decent fish. Going for a heavier braid can help. Varivas is worth the extra dollars.

I also like 20lb Tuff line XP. Worked great on my last BC before it died.
