new(er) braided lines...
the fireline braid blows all others away.if using baitcast get 50 or 65 lb.on spinning i use 20 lb.sonic braid is rough compared to sufix or fireline braid.the fireline braid is the roundest most user friendly braid made.

first baitcaster...... will this do??
they have the same combo here.in my store they do not get abused which is nice.looks like a decent deal for the dough.

baitcasting line. help please!
why would you put 8 lb line on a baitcaster?you should be using 10 to 25 lb diameter lines on it.i suggest 50 or 65 lb fireline braid.

YOU.............this is all your fault, you got me into this dodeguy! LOL, Just kidding man! Thanks for putting me on to the FireLine, i really liked it! I have some on a Revo SX that has almost stopped losing color and it matches the lily pads PERFECTLY!!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!braid takes getting used to.i tried the magic eraser on my handles and it works wonders.it worked better slightly damp than dry.my handles look new.i am a auto tecnician so my hands tend to get the cork blackened.the eraser took all that off and the red pp stains and green sufix stains.it also took the stains they left on my reels off.the fireline braid seems to have stopped losing color and didn't stain nearly as bad as other lines.the only braid i know that doesn't stain is spiderwire invisibraid (white) but imho it stinks.was on my reels for 2 weeks and i ripped it off.

the fireline does it the least but it's the nature of the beast.just clean them like the guys said and you'll be ok.my fireline braid has actually stopped loosing color but is still a good shade of green.

braided line
Have you actually tried the fireline braid? I have been using it for several months now and love it. i doubt he has from the tone of the reply.he probably has it confused with regular fireline.

braided line
powerpro is outdated and stone age.sufix is better and the new fireline braid is best imho.any lure can be fished on braid.some people use leaders and some don't.i personally don't use a leader.over the years i thought i caught more fish using low vis line and even went to flouro.last year i went back to braid mid year and had no drop in catch rates and it actually went up.i think the differences from year to year were because of other reasons and not line visability.

Line snapping (Braid Help)
unless you are tieing terrible knots or getting cut on rocks 50 and 65 lb fireline or sufix braid will explode your rod before it snaps.
