hey what braid line would you pick out . out of these 2 . spiderwire ez braid or spiderwire stealth braid ? any opinions welcome . thanks
The issue here is that here in Kali we catch big fish not the little ones you guys catch. We need braid to get the fish in. Also at great depths it doesn't stretch and when you get a bite you can set the hook. Mono stretches too much
Power Pro in 55 lb and red not any other color
Oh man my bad guess the lake close to my house only has 20-30# cutthroatsThe issue here is that here in Kali we catch big fish not the little ones you guys catch. We need braid to get the fish in.

I use spiderwire braided in all my fishing reels except the crappie setup. Bass rod setup with 20lbs 6lbs diameter, salmon rods have 80lbs and sturgeon rods have 100lbs. Even setup the pike tipups with 50lbs test.
hey nice fish in your avatar ! is that strawberry ? sre you in utah ?About 7 years ago, I decided to give braid a try.
I now use it exclusively.
I’ve found Tuff line and Spider Stealth to be good, but my favorite is
Sufix 832 for spinning gear
and
Power Pro depth hunter for casting.
Braid is less than ½ the diameter per lb test.
And zero stretch.
This allows me to use line 50% stronger, and still smaller diameter/weight.
Fewer breakoffs, casts farther and more line on the reel.
Zero stretch means you see and feel the lightest nibble or tap.
Braid is more expensive than Mono, but the cost of good line is nothing compared to a tank of gas and a day on the lake.
The problems you will find with braid;
You must use the right knot. (I use a Nanofil knot)
Braid is NOT good with abrasion, stretch it tight over a rock and it will break.
That’s why I use a Florocarbon leader.
Braid helps me catch more fish and loose less gear.
Minnows at best LOL just razzin I'm talking about 75-120 pound halibut and Lings 35-55 lbsOh man my bad guess the lake close to my house only has 20-30# cutthroats
hey im after rainbow trout that they stock at these community fisheries in utah salt lake cityI hated the braided lines when I tried them 20 years ago. I'm sure they have changed/progressed since then but I still prefer a super mono. You will have to use different knots for braided, as mentioned earlier. You didn't say what you are fishing for and in what kind of depths or terrain/structure... Good luck.
lol....I never get that much action....Rod guides need to be braid ready. Otherwise, it will cut slots in the guides.
