baid on a muliplier

[Billzo]

I use heavy braid off the boat and light braid for spinning with a fixed spool reel. When I’ve used the light 30lb braid on a 6500c for spinning it was a nightmare. The stuff digs in to the spool stopping half way through a cast or fluffing up ready to form a bird’s nest at the slightest chance.
What line are you all using and how well does it cast on multi’s with a heavier weight?

power pro m8 it not cheap but the best i have ever used on a multi, the braid is rounder & dose'nt dig in like alot of braids that r flat or oval in shape, i am chucking 50lb fireline- diam of 18lb mono on a 7ht with no probs at the minute.

well braid does not give so if your pulling against rock the braid will snap and if your using a 80lb shocker with your braid its acting the same as mono as you have a weak link i.e the knot and rock fishing i always tighten my line when using rottom bottoms i am not arguing just from what i have experienced with braid i have only used it on a boat. another thing if your using braid in kelp looking for big fish with 60lb line why do you need the extra feel?

if u r rubbing braid against a rock then u will get some damage m8 but most of the top braids r high abrasive resistant & have a coating on that dose help aswell, i dont use a shockleader with 80lb powerpro on the rocks just 80lb powerpro straight through & a 60lb mono rig body with a 40lb amnesia hook snood with 4,0 sukuma's & a 30lb mono rotton bottom. if anything is gonna go m8 it is normaly the rotton bottom, hook bends out or if rig is tangled round a snag then many times the 60lb rig body goes at the knot 2 a swivel or a link. i have had the same braid on coming up 2 year now & it has never snapped on m8, i know lads that have had the same braid on for 3 & 4 years so it can save u money in the long run m8.
using thick mono like 60lb on rocks after big fish is fine m8 as that is what i used 2 use on the heavy, heavy marks but i find when the sea's r rough there is alot of pull on the main line so the heavy braid & low dia works better 4 me, a bit like on a boat when lads use braid because less drag.
i dont always use braid i still use mono on alot of marks, i do like braid on the beaches if bit weed about because no need 4 leaders so no leader knot, no weed knot lol.
