I'm look8ng for a good braid to punching rod flipping and jig

sunline fx2 froggin and flippin.

I like Sufix braid, both the Performance Braid and the 832.

I've had good luck with Daiwa Samurai and Suffix 832.

Power Pro 65#.

Power pro for sure.

Well if you want to try something new...the 832 then... you won't be disappointed. I use 832 on all my saltwater gear but PP on my fresh gear - just a weird personal preference. 

I've been using the Seaguar Smackdown braid this year, and I have to tell you I'm really impressed.  Definitely worth a look.

Also, Tuf-Line just introduced a new 8-strand braid this month called Tournament 8.  I've only used it a few times so far, but I'm really pleased with it. It casts really smooth.

Power Pro is great affordable braid. 

Is there a bad braid?

Kanzen 15#

SUFFIX 832. 50 pounds

sunline fx2 60# all day

On Academy's web site, 832 is on sale for $15.00 thru Monday.

I mostly use Power Pro, I can buy it any where any time or the day, the price isn't bad either.  I've used other brands and have never seen a reason to swear off PP.  I use 10-15 and 20#, I whack out larger saltwater fish all the time.  PP casts just fine, strength is of no concern (should't be for any braided line), knots are good, what's the problem?

I'm slowly coming to this exact conclusion and therefore feel that I'm going to settle on it as my braid of choice for the foreseeable future. I really like P-Line Spectrex braid as well but I can't buy it locally so when the two spools I have run out I'll just replace it with PP.

Sufix 832, or,,,,,,,,,,a,,,,,,,,,,,well I guess thats it, 8 3 2

I buy power pro too based on price and convenience. I don't know why basspro sells it in 100 yd spools rather than the 150 yd they sell readily available at Walmart for the same price.

 

I just bought a 150 yd spool of $9.96 US Braid from Walmart. Its orange and made in 'merica. Ill see how it holds up. I see up to 50lbs on sale.

Power Pro or Sunline FX2 or SX1

Cheaper spiderwire. That crap has a tendency to crush back on into itself and cause me real headaches.

Kanzen 15#

Thanks.  I will be sure to avoid those two lines.  Little too late for the Spiderwire, tho, as I have some 30# Stealth on one of my baitcast reels.  Have never tried Kanzen...or any Seaguar product.
