starting to look to putting some braid on my new reels, what gets your vote for braid choice. Also do you change your braid each year?????

 

[Never - Satisfied]

I have been using PowerPro for years without any issues. Depending on how hard/often you use your equipement will determine how often you change the line. I usually get 2 - 3 years before I respool. Again it all depends on how the line looks at the end of the season.

 

[BigBassJim]

Powerpro.
surf rod gets changed 2-3 years
everything else gets 3-4.

 

[paul708]

i have been using tuf-line XP
works great,
i have had it on my reels for a few years.

 

[take one]

been on PP for 3 years, i havent had any problems, if it aint broke, dont fix it. i have looked at the momoi braid. but dam its expensive

 

[FISH BUCKET]

another vote for power pro.
but if you can afford it,daiwa saltiga braid is awesome.
i have it on a couple of reels and would have it on all if i could afford it.
it is thin,slick and supple

 

[Joseph Lamberty]

Most of my reels have Power Pro. Power Pro is good for the price . Most of my reels are spooled by my local B&T store and thats what they carry in bulk spools so thats what I use. Although this year I'm thinking of changing a few of my setups back to include mono and Florocarbon..where more finesse types of fishing presentations require a little more stretch and or abrasion resistance.

Power Pro then Suffix braid:thumbsup:

 

[Bill22jack]

Power Pro-Phantom Red

 

[Double Play]

suffix braid then power pro

 

[fishypete]

Inshore I have started to switch from PP to suffix. I had a bad batch of PP on one of my reels last year. I replaced it with suffix and I think it casts better. Three to five years I would say.

 

[glennexit13]

No issues with PP in any poundage or color in the 5 years since I converted.

Have 50 on surf and bay chunking setups, 20 on a few others, and in the spring will be dropping to 10 on my light sod walking spinner.

Stren used to make a braid I thought was really sweet (solid, very little fade and was perfectly round) but either they discontinued it altogether or severely curtailed it's distribution.

sounds like power pro is the go-to braid, I used to be a big fan of fireline, but it may not measure up to power pro, just curious anybody still using fireline

I still use fireline 30lb on my plugging rods,I feel its easier to work with(less wind knots).But all my other rods have pp,tuff and suffix.
I use all my lines the same way,I use them spring and fall then reverse them on the spool so used line is on the bottom of spool (like new!!)than after next spring & fall I junk it.

 

[phish4fun]

50lb power pro for stripers.15lb fireline for flounder.

 

[fishonmike]

:thumbsup:Stren Sonic Braid ... tried it last yr and really liked it


Sufix and tuff line are other good lines

 

[HookSetter]

power pro all the way i change mine every 2-3 years. Never had any issues. Just be careful casting alot of weight with the thinner diameters they wiil cut your finger to the bone if your not careful:thumbsup:

 

[schuylkill fisherman]

power pro.

 

[chunking]

I have spooled up hundreds of reels here at the shop with braids. Bottom line is only Fireline will be on any of my reels. ONLY FIRELINE!

 

[smellinfishy]

I like it all Suffix, power pro, and fireline
never had a problem with any of them
