metered braid

[nagz]

hi guys,
i've been trying to track down some FINS multicoloured braid in 80lb but cant seem to find it anywhere, except on ebay in the states and they only accept pay pal, which i dont use.
has anyone seen it locally and know how much it costs?
my alternative is power pro depth hunter.

Has anyone used this braid before and can give a decent review on it?
cheers

[nagz]

after reading what paulus had to say about power pro depth hunter, i'm sticking to fins

so if anyone knows where i can get fins metered braid and for how much, please fill me in

Daiwa also make some pretty good multi colored braid, its a bit more expensive though

[nagz]

Daiwa do make a good line, and I've used them alot, but I'm really keen on the fins aye

Just a guess, but did you try Tackleworld Cranbourne?

Nagz, Fins is without a doubt the worst braid on the market. I avoid it like the plague. Like everything else there are people who swear by it, but that's because they just don't know any better. I've also heard very mixed results on daiwa accudepth, with reports of it breaking at less than half it's rated strain. The one metered braid I keep seeing consistently with good feedback is YGK WX8.

I have to disagree

I have tried so many braids and fins is the one for me aye

For bream and the like, yeah I'd use high end braid, but

Do you know how heartbreaking it is when loose a spool of over a hundred bucks to a fish you never get to see lol

Have you ever used fins side by side with something like varivas avani or ygk ultra? You'll take all the fins off all your reels and throw it in a volcano. Same with power pro, fireline etc.
I've never been spooled before. I always manage to bust off before I get spooled. And trust me it's a lot easier to bust your line when it actually breaks somewhere near it's rated breaking strain
