Why Use 50+ Pound Braid?

Featured Replies

That would be big game. A very cheap line. I personally would not use it. (retails for $7.99). Just about any line on the market would be a better choice IMO

    Because you never know when you're going to catch that 50 pound bass.

    I've read all the post here and it seems to me a majority of the members that answered your question did so with valid reasons why they choose to use heavier line. I see very few "Keyboard Warriors" o

    I think it is more for the diameter than the #.

Where do you get over half a mile of Trilene for $12?

Hatrix, it retails for $7.99. (8.99 some places). 1/4 pound spool of trilene big game (not a good line IMO!). Walmart, dicks, gander mountain, bass pro, cabelas, tackle warehouse, etc. It will be on the bottom of the shelf stacked or in a bin. They are shrink wrapped 1/4# spools. 

Big game is actually not that bad. Pretty abrasion resistant. It just stretches like a rubber band.

I don't know where you get your line or what you use but.... If your getting 1175 yards of mono for $12 it's junk. Time to switch it up and buy some better line. Also you can fish that same spool of braid for years.

I use Mustad Ultra line that I get in 1lb spools from 4,000+ yards to 11,000+ yards with the 6lb test. I pay $10 a spool for it and it's some of the strongest mono I've ever fished :)
