What is the best braided line for casting I use a bait caster reel. normally I use Stern mono 10lb but I have been fishing lilly pads and its killin me. thanks for the help

I started using the Fireline Braid in my bc last year and it worked very well.

I was LITERALLY in the same boat as you. Picked this up

Not only is it camo and looks good, but they are offering a free hat AND rebate offers. Best deal around

for braided line i always use spider wire on my pfluger echlon for fishing frogs around pads and mated grass

Suffix braid, not the 832 stuff though.

Diawa Samurai 55 lb braid..one of the best braids on the market. 

I have used P-line, Suffix, Fireline braid, and this year its Power Pro. Of the first 3 i liked fireline braid the best... maybe this year I will change that.

I used PowerPro for a couple years but kept experiencing unexplained breakoffs. Switched to Sufix Performance Braid about a year ago and they've pretty much disappeared. Overall I've been very happy with the Sufix using everything from 30-50lbs. I'm pretty sure that 30lb+ all has 8 strands whereas <30lb only has 4.

Haven't got a chance to use the new 832 but I've heard good things. Probably won't get a chance to try it anytime soon, plan on picking up a few spools for $12 from BPS.  ;D

There is NO better braid.

I like the Samurai too, but to me it's almost "too" good. It's so limp it feels like silk. The color is too light for my liking, also.

I love my PowerPro, but I recently have been using 832 with very good results.

Been using 50# Fireline for the past 3 seasons and not one complaint.

power pro for this guy! 

I've used about 10 different braided lines, and as long as they are 100% braided spectra, it's really splitting hairs.

I prefer TUF-Line XP. I think it's a great value + it's available in white, which I often use for better visibility at my end, and then since I always use a mono leader anyway, I'm not worried about visibility to the fish anyway.

BTW, when I hear "Fireline".... I always cringe.... Yes, I know they now make an actual braided Fireline, which might not be too bad, but that old fused garbage was absolutely worthless ! I'd have rather used mono ! (and you guys should already know how I despise mono !)

Peace,

Read as: one man's opinion.

Light test fused lines behave better on my spinning equipment than lightly coated limp braid (read as: another man's opinion).

My go to braid is Daiwa Samurai... I also have reels with fireline and suffix performance.

Fireline was my go to until I discovered Samurai. I still use it or Performance for fishing salad.

Power pro, fireline is trash, (my opinion).

You can't really go wrong with Fireline or Powerpro braid.  I haven't tried Samurai or Sufix 832, but I will this year.  I didn't really care for the Sufix Performance braid. 

God , I miss that picture of fireline , you should post it more often.

Original Fireline needs a little breaking in, but then in smaller diameters (3/8 and 4/10) cast's farther than anything else I've used.

But of course it isn't braided - so a little of topic.

Take some apart under a magnifying glass and then tell me it isn't braided.
