Default Spider Wire

I broke down and bought me some of that high dollar Spider Wire stuff. Well it's not the Spider Wire name brand but looks the same. I think it's not very good. I beleive they call it Spider Wire because it sticks to everything! I used it for fresh water and have had tons of problems with it twisting up on branches and the cork; knotting up on itself etc.. When I use monofilament; I never really had this problem. Does anyone have that problem?

power pro...... cast it a few times in the front yard before u fish.... have to wear the wax off.... I love that stuff... get the 95Lb test, you'll blend right in with Fishinpox, Mikedatiger,Jlincecum and "W"

I find with suffix, when you do backlash, its easier to get out plus you dont have to break it in like powerpro

Personally I've found that the line lay's flatter on the spool. Hey "W" what type of braid sponsor"s you or what is your favorite braid.Give us sum wisdom Young master of the speck's.

Been using suffix 20# for a while on a couple of reels and have had no problems with it. I don't fish like some of these guys here but I've gotten a lot of use on a single spool.

And, accoding to Jordan, it makes great floss too!

if your bass fishing and fishing a worm don't bother using braid stick with mono, use braid in heavy grass while pitchin and flippin to get that bass up through the grass and not breaking the line. bass can see green, so they can see your line, mono is invisible under water.

I hate braid....used Power Pro......That crap sucked...Pulled it off after one trip.... Tried another type...Can remember what brand...

My last try was FINS win tamer...it was free from the fishing show....So I said what the hell....Have to say...I love it......I will not go as far as throwing soft plastics with it, but it dont dig, you can throw up wind and not back lash.... Line does not bow out in windy days.....smooth..... I love it for hard baits...Like topwater or suspending baits..... All I threw this week was top and suspending and used it every time.....

I plan on buying some to spool up one more reel.....

For throwing sand eels..You cant beat 10lb or 8lb test Berkley Big Game
