What's best braid to use ?

[lannen55]

Looking to try out a penn surfblaster 8000 at the weekend and was just wondering what the best kind of braid is to use ?

[Swilsonstu@aol.com]

you could try 65lb straight through or 30ld and a shocker- i use 80ld braid. never had any problems. generally use whiplash or penn - enjoy!

Hi, Get yourself some PowerPro braid, best on the market bar none !!!!!
Lots of braids out there a lot cheaper, but at the end of the day you get what you pay for.

I use Powerpro Super 8 Slick. It has a very round cross section being 8 strand so behaves a bit like mono in that it does not dig in on your spool the way 4 strand braids do. I use the 0.28mm which is 20kg (44lb) with 6oz leads and never crack off and have plenty of strength to pull out of snags. It can be expensive in some places but if you shop around on the net you can get it for £20 a spool Power Pro Super 8 Slick Line at low prices in the Askari Fishing online tackle shop!

Make sure u get a low diameter one I filled my braid spool on surfblaster with 40lb braid and emptied the spool when I cast out

Sounds like you need more braid

The spool is shallow it holds 300 yards of 18mm braid and the braid I was using was 36mm and I couldn't get anymore on so I've changed to 10lb and got the full 300 yards on
