Tarpon J: any tips for fist time use of braid?
Like monoxide said, you need to pack it on tight so it won't dig into itself. But I disagree with any need for mono underneath to keep braid from slipping. Not sure where I read this it was a while ago, maybe the cabbage key site..but when you tie your line to your spool just leave a tag end the length of the spool and lay it lengthwise along the spool and this will act like a cushion and you can spool up and not have to worry about line slippage. Whatever brand spectra braid you choose I am sure you will be happy with it. DO NOT CAST IN TO THE WIND!!!!! on lighter gear always use a sivvle and untwist your braid frequently .]]> BIG SHARK GEAR rippinlipsoff https://www.southfloridasharkclub.com/community/big-shark-gear/which-braid-is-best/paged/2/#post-39291 Re: WHICH BRAID IS BEST??? https://www.southfloridasharkclub.com/community/big-shark-gear/which-braid-is-best/#post-39261 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:15:27 +0000

The problem a lot of people have with power pro is that they are trying braid for the first time so I believe many of the problems are user error. They get more comfortable and used to fishing with the braid by the time they get to buying the expensive stuff so they assume it is the line's fault. x2]]> BIG SHARK GEAR scout04 https://www.southfloridasharkclub.com/community/big-shark-gear/which-braid-is-best/#post-39243 Re: WHICH BRAID IS BEST??? https://www.southfloridasharkclub.com/community/big-shark-gear/which-braid-is-best/#post-39240 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 05:32:55 +0000 used it in green, red and hi vis from 20-80lb and had problems with it every single time. Sufix 832 is by far the best braid I have ever used, if it came in hollow and over 80lb it would be on every reel I own. I do use sufix performance braid in 130lb and caught BFT from 600-1000lbs on it and have a few spinning reels spooled with it in 50lb for a few years and cant say a single bad thing about it. Any thing over 130lb its Jerry brown hollow.]]> BIG SHARK GEAR CATCHINJIANTS (cj) https://www.southfloridasharkclub.com/community/big-shark-gear/which-braid-is-best/#post-39240
