RAPALA Stretch Braid

Featured Replies

has anyone tried this line? im a big braid guy but never used Rapalas stretch braid.

Have not seen this yet.  I only use braid for one application, and I don't care for stretch then.  Still, this could be interesting and useful to some...perhaps even me in the right environment.

i read about this in Bassmaster. they don't sell it at my local tackle shop yet but i will try when its in stock. seems like a good line, although i have never used Rapala's lines before.

I too am waiting for this.  I am intersted to see how and if it works and in what applications I could use it in.

This sounds interesting.  It uses microscopic particles of titanium alloy suppposedly for reinforcement.  I saw this in Bassmaster mag also.  The following link is from the Rapala press release for this product:  http://www.rapala.com/press/pressReleaseDetail.cfm?pressreleaseid=58.  

Like anything else, we'll have to see if this translates well in the real world.  

I have not seen it yet. I am not by any means sold on braid. I did sort of like it for buzzbaits but other than that I like mono. Part of this is my fault. I cannot get used to that lift up motion when flipping. I am a old dog at this and I need to cross their eyes when I set the hook. I tended to break off too many when hook setting with braid or breaking my rods. Maybe this stretch braid will solve that problem. As for me, Copolymer mono,period.

i for the life of me don't get why someone would want braid to stretch.if you want stretch use mono.
