40 - 50lb braid ...

[brad mcdonald]

hi all,

need to spool up my 8000 with some decent braid so i'm wondering what everyone is using for the heavy stuff.

this reel will be used for a mix of casting a jigging .....

thoughts?

[MattGeyer91]

Something from the varivas or daiwa hypa 8 stable would fit the bill nicely

Frog or Fins. I've heard some good reviews about the sunline in the heavier stuff as well.

Love Varivas in the lighter stuff but I really don't rate the Varvivas in the heavier stuff.

Accudepth man, my 40lb spooled on the stella 5000 has lasted a long time and some big fish and havent even reversed it. Rate it big time and if I had the funds would have re spooled all my big reels a long time ago. Go annoy bubba and he should be able to sort some for ya.

Daiwa accu depth hyper PE.

ive been using sufix 832 in a few different breaking strains, its been good and value for money is great, i just had my 8000stradic spooled with 50lb, 280m for $50 at my local tackle shop

I use Avani Casting for my offshore casting braid. Its smooth stuff and perfect for a casting/ jigging braid. The only problem I have had, is it does bleed a bit but white braid is overrated anyway

check out SAS braid thinnest and strongest breaking strain there on face book

[brad mcdonald]

thanks fellas - plenty of options to choose from

Daiwa Accudepth.
I got it in the 30lb on my branzino and my bro uses 40lb on his Stella 5000.
Very thin but be aware it breaks close to the stated breaking strain.

I bust fish ball's on Yellow 50LB Finn's does the job and is oh so cheap. l

i had 40lb power pro on my baitrunner 6000D and it was great, easy to tie knots and cheap i paid $35 posted from ebay

Go the Tasline/SAS braid, can't beat it for quality and price, poo's on the big name brands. Fine and strong with good knot strength, awesome stuff.

Stay away from the Daiwa accudepth/hyper unless you like being busted of by decent fish. Worst braid I've ever used, I had to strip it of my reels after a few trips cos I couldn't trust it after loosing some good fish that I wouldn't normally loose, just pops so easily on hard running fish.

Cheers,
Al
