hey

i was wondering which pound braid would be best for flatties and bream. I recently used 8 but found that to heavy so i was considering going lighter but i dont want to have to deal with wind knots can anyone help me

i am sorry there has probably been hundreds of threads like this but can't be bothered to look for one

Cheers Harry

hey mate i use 3 lb braid and 4 lb fc rock leader, i have 6 and 8 but dont use them much, i have caught upto 85cm flatty on the 4lb no dramas half a dozzen big girls now, on my 1000 size reels, i do run 4lb braid and 6lb leader on my 2500 size reels for flatty and bigger but dont use them as much and tend to get the flattys on the bream gear all the time lol,

i agree, i used to use 3 lb power pro and 4 lb fc rock and it was a ball on bigger flatties ( i think biggest on that combo was 68 ) but fun none the less now i just use 8 lb super pe and change leader size

thanks does 4 lb get wind knots ?

I've been using some super thin Toray Saltwater Light Fish braid in 4lb for the past few months and after 1000's of casts in all conditions, I'm yet to have even the smallest wind knot. Prior to using this line, I was a big fan of Sunline PE in 6lb which only gave me the very occasional wind knot.

I can highly recommend Toray Saltwater Light Fish braid. I've just ordered my second spool for my new Certate.

Use 6lb super PE very thin and strong, i used it all the time

I use 4lb FINS and 8lb Sunline Super PE.

Really depends on what braid you want to use in my opinion. Do you have any brands that you prefer?

i have always gone with fireline but recently i had some 8 lb crystal which was terrible it got wind knots all the time. I am thinking about getting some sunline super pe

Hard to beat Fireline in 4lb. Stren Lazerbraid i find excellent in 6lb. Only around $12 as well.

got some 4lb fireline today thanks for the help the sunline was very tempting
