Re: Stren Superbraid
should have gotten powerpro. Braid is good for certain uses, its the most sensitive line there is.

Re: Stren Superbraid
I like the stren superbraid. Like everybody else has said, for some things it great and for others its not. Its advantages are strength and sensitivity, but its disadvatage is that it is very visable underwater and it sometimes (it seems on certain reels) doesn't handle well.

Re: Stren Superbraid
I would easily rig up everything I own with it, only if I could afford it :P
But I do enjoy the Stren Monofilaments really well. Despite the occasional stretching, the Stren Original always seems to be the cheepest line to depend on. I use 10lb. clear on all my spinning reels and 14lb. clear line on all my baitcasters. No problems at all. Although I'll probally be spooling up with some Stren Superbrain real soon. -StetsD |

Re: Stren Superbraid
50 lb test has 12lb mono diameter, plus aot of the ponds i fish are covered in weeds and lately 14 lb mono has been gettin broke off in some of these nasty plces in that pond i know it sounds crazy but since braid has no stretch and is super hard to break i was thinking about trying it out so that way if a fish gets tangled i can rip him and the grass out solving a problem of losing the fish and to many weeds in the pon LOL ;D

Re: Stren Superbraid
Stren Superbraid is a good line. But when you say it casts like a dream, I would ask what you are casting. I can assure you it doesn't cast like a dream with weightless plastics, but does well with heavier baits.

but still, unless ur useing a grappling hook-lol-theres no way ur comein up with 14lbs of weeds or a 14lb weed/fish combo. the ponds i fish are covered in weeds and pond scum, but my stren 10lb x does the job just fine and it does "cast like a dream" |

Re: Stren Superbraid
There is no advantage to going to 50 lb test from 30 lb test.If you can't bring them out with 30 lb test you will not be able to bring them out on 50 lb test either. P N J

Lizards[/quote] what is a good braided line that cast well with weightless and weighted soft plastic lures using a spinning rod and real? what would be a good cast as far as distance is concerned in your opinion? |

what is a good braided line that cast well with weightless and weighted soft plastic lures using a spinning rod and real? what would be a good cast as far as distance is concerned in your opinion?[/quote] I personally would say use Fireline. It's a fused line. I use it almost exclusively on my spinning reels. It casts like a dream, with no line memory. The 20lb test is my favorite. Now it does need to have maintenance, meaning that you will need to cut off the last 10 feet every so often, but it won't break, it casts great, and after many, many, many lines I've tried it's my favorite. I am going to try the Spiderwire Stealth, got it on a good reccomendation from a trusted guy IMO(right Senkosam already have some at home, next respooling). But for braid I would have to say Powerpro casts the best with weightless plastics. I don't use braid for weightless, though, it's the Fireline. Now guess what, it's not cheap, so no matter what braid or fused line you get, use the cheepest mono you have on the reel till half way up the spool, and then put on the exspensive stuff. I've found that if you get down to half the spool, it doesn't cast as well no matter what line is on it. Well you asked for my opinion, and there it is, BUY FIRELINE Lizards |

Re: Stren Superbraid
i currently hav trilene xl 14# Â*should i cut it down to about half the spool and put on the new stuff over it or would you recommend a smaller cheaper line to put on half way up? Â*by the way thanks for all the info let me know how that spiderwire works? i have also read on this forum at one time or another that spider wire is not good to your rod or reel or both i dont remember?

Well if it's already on it, then use it, but unless you have a huge reel, like a saltwater reel, the 14lb is TOO BIG. Now the fused and braids are smaller in diameter, but read you reel, it should say what is the max line to use(that's based on mono lines) so don't go over that. But since it's just for backing, go ahead and use it. Lizards |

Re: Stren Superbraid
I've tried a couple of braided lines, and I like powerpro. Although I haven't tried fireline. Try both and see what you like.

Re: Stren Superbraid
Has anybody seen the Stren Heavy Cover Line?
They have this olive green color that is the exact color of the ponds, and lakes here in Charlotte. I might find a good jig rod and load a #14 lb. test on it. |
