Braid

[The Great Wallsendo]

I use Dynon 3000 55lb like what the skipper and Keith says...I used this on their advice and haven't looked back...

Now I'm a bit wiser I would still chose it as for one thing it's darned sight cheaper than some of the super-thin brands...the only way to "save" money with braid is to buy it on bulk spools and even then you're talking big bucks

Has anyone noticed that the Dynon has gone up in price? (I managed to get some last year for £16 inc p&p) you're looking at over £20 from what I can see now...so if anyone knows where to get some let me know please

ID Fishing usually have Dynon in stock - £18 last I bought some, minus 10% for NESA members.

Well am going to be new to braid this year. I,v bought Calcutta Ultra Braid 30lb got it cheap from the boat fair last year was 25 pound, I,v heard alot of good about it, so I,ll let you know how i get on with it at the end of the season.

I was chatting to the lad who runs Calcutta at the boat show and he was demonstrating the ultra braid and I have to say it is the best I've ever seen. It is the thinnest per breaking strain and is teflon coated and ultra round. He was simulating tight wind loops then with one pull untangling them.

Alreet Chris. Iv'e used dynon 3000 in the past and found it to be not suitable for my type of fishing. Its too thick compaired to other braids and shreds your thumb when retrieving without levelwind, ( but that might be my soft hands lol)
I've been using 50lb. Berkley Whiplash the last 5 years for my summer Tope fishing and find it unbeatable, very reliable and very low diameter so you need less weight in deeper water and stronger tides than mono.

Alreet Barza? there's so many choices, think i'll just have to go and buy one of the ones you's have mentioned and try it out for myself.

Cheers

Yer like my 1st post, everyone has there favs so just pick one

All have pros and cons, apart from a crap one that snaps all the time everyone will be better than mono for boating.
