Kasting Kings Fortis Anyone spool it up?

Featured Replies

Seen many reviews on amazon and other websites that this Kasting King fortis braid line is the real deal.  Like most I am a spectra power pro guy and have a hard time switching to this but at the price it's tempting to try.  Any thoughts or has anyone tried it? good, bad, or ugly?

Can someone also show me how to move this to the right category thanks.

Moved it for you.

 

I haven't tried Fordis, but I have used their standard braid.  Reminds me of OG Suffix four-carrier braid.  Decent enough.  Like most braids, I'm using way over strength, 50# for it's diameter, and don't really need that much strength, so breaking is not an issue.  Knots work fine, handles well.

Braid is so "over-engineered," I really haven't found any I truly hated.  Well, not any more than I already hate the necessary evil of using it, lol.  About the only ones I've tried, I didn't like were the really "soft bodied" ones.  Power Pro 8 carrier line was one.  Too soft and slippery for me.   Report back with anything that might seem useful to others.  I get set in my ways, but this forum has taught me there's many more ways to skin a cat, gear included.

I have noticed that very thing that so many have different ways of doing things that not every single person has the "right way".  thanks
