braid choices.... samurai vs. fire

Featured Replies

well i have 3 reels in need to spool and cant make a choice on what line to pick. ive used fireline braid, i really like it alot but i want something thats hi vis. so im stuck between tracer braid and yellow daiwa samurai. only thing is that its gunna cost me nearly 60 bux to spool with the samurai. were i can get the tracer for 30ish. probably gunna do one reel in 65lb for frogs. and the other in either 40 or 50 for worm, jigs ... general stuff. well BR what do ya think

Can't speak to the Fireline, cuz all I've used is the spiderwire ultracast. Then I bought some Diawa Samuri, I use the 55# test. This stuff is great, very limp, color doesn't go away or, keep coming off on your fingers.

I use it mainly for my swimbait/pitchen rig..Samuri cast's a mile. I can w/o cause totally recomend it. ;)

BTW, if you haven't already, check ***.. :)

berkley braid is a little stiffer=frogs and flipping 50lbs.

daiwa samuri is a more limp/soft=open water and pitching 55lbs.

my fav lines, works for me
