Believe it or not, Bass Pro Shop does not even carry it! I found it at a small specialty rod and reel shop, no one else carries it that I know of around here, but you can order it online.<BR/> A question, I have never tried braid on a spinning reel how does it perform? How is casting, and does the line cut into itself on the spool and jam if you get a big fish and the drag it tight to start? I know this can happen on baitcasting reels.mkzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06670914911711258522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982757792916630090.post-5773237350714019762008-01-23T19:13:00.000+08:002008-01-23T19:13:00.000+08:00mkz,<BR/>thanks for sharing...I'm not sure wether the said line are found in this part of the world..Kaki Joranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08215234424642613734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982757792916630090.post-27862794669066519382008-01-23T18:35:00.000+08:002008-01-23T18:35:00.000+08:00Hello Kaki,<BR/> I would like to add to your list of braided lines, one I have found to be awesome and more affordable than most by a few dollars. Berkley makes a line called Big Game Braid, it came out in 2006 with little advertisement, compared to Fireline. It comes in low vis green for fresh water, and white for salt.<BR/> I use the 20lb. test for fishing plastic worms in lily pads and weeds. It is much stronger than the stated test, and has a diameter equal to 6lb. mono, and so casts like a dream on bait casting reels. It is a supple line, and very durable. I tested this by keeping the line on for over a year, and other than re-tying my lures did not have to trim line back except for one fray midway through the first year. I have 30lb test on my topwater and crankbait rod and it will be going on it's second year this season. Keep in mind I cover my reels as not to expose them to sunlight, but other than that I fish hard! This line is not common in stores, but can be ordered through Berkley.mkzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06670914911711258522noreply@blogger.com
