Sinking Braid, anyone used it

Featured Replies

I love Stren Super Braid, but I have never even heard of this stuff before...and the idea seems a little strange to me :-?

Looks cool. I like to flip/pitch w/ braid. This would probably give the lure a faster fall rate than the stuff I am currently using.

Should give deep divers a little more depth too.

Nice find, I had never seen it either.

Dont waste your money. It creates so much drag under the water that there is no feel for you bait at all. stick w/ floating braided line.

I have.  And I have some to give you if you want to come pick it up.

I put 8# on a light spinning outfit, and 12# on a medium spinning outfit.   I fished with it for a day then stripped it all off.

I'll list my observations:

1)  I doesn't sink - anymore than regular braid.  

2)  It appeared to me to be highly visible (it's white and green camo).  It stood out like a sore thumb.

3)  It's almost too limp.  Knotting was horrible.  

I don't know what it is about this stuff, but it doesn't act like Stren SuperBraid - which I like very much.  Stren Sinking Braid is junk.  (And I'm a Stren fan.)

I did find a good use for the stuff I pulled off my reels.  I used it to stitch seams in a canvas tarp I use for gathering leaves.

Thanks, I color through me off too. The white almost looked like it glowed. That stinks that it doesnt sink. That would be a great concept.
