Best Braid Line?

Featured Replies

Just like it says looking for the best braid line. Looking to use it one my shakey head/ drop shot combo. Thanks

power pro, suffix 832, spiderwire, most braids are pretty good its all in what you want out of them...

Samurai or Kanzen

Original Power Pro is very good braid but their new Super 8 Slick has become my favorite. I'm super impressed with the S8S in 20# on my spinning gear. S8S would be my top choice in braided line at the moment, it's been really good for me with any technique I've tried it with, spinning or casting.

The best is the one that becomes your personal favorite.

i use only power pro  i tried others and they just didnt do it for me and i use all shimano reels so fitting that i use their line too haha

I have been using Fins XS Windtamer in 15lb on one of my spinning outfits and I have yet to have a wind knot even in ridiculous wind.  I also get a little further cast.  Wind picks it up but it won't wind knot.

power pro is a great line I was also impressed with the p line braid.

I use 832 and Power pro. Both are great braids.

I use Daiwa Samurai. 30# for spinning gear, 55# for casting.

Samurai, hands down. With a floro leader on my spinning

Agree with Snook, but my personal favorite is SpiderWire Ultra Cast. Suffix 832 is great also.

SUFFIX 832,  best I have found, one I would never recamend is Fireline Braid, seems good but constant wind knotts, and have had numerable line whips on cast that cut themselves, have never had one good trouble free outing with it?????

power pro is a great line I was also impressed with the p line braid.

I too really like P-Line braid but I didn't bring it up because to me it and Power Pro original are very similar lines. Also P-Line braid has become all but impossible to find locally for me, I'm not sure why all the shops stopped stocking it but they have. Again I'm just so happy with S8S right now, the line I've had on my frog rod since the beginning of this year is so "broken in" now that it isn't even really brown anymore, it's a light tan color now. It is so limp and casts so easy that I'm able to use very little effort to cast my lures and I'm really really liking this attribute. Other braids break in well to but none to this degree for me.  

I prefer Spiderwire. I just got too many cast tangles with Power Pro.
