Best Braid. Sunline? 2025

robster80 reply :

tried out the stren sonic braid today. mistake. worst backlash ive ever had and pretty much had to resort to trimming line away. in the process i think every drop of green eye put on the braid got on my hands. so unsure if i wanna try more of this kind. seems everyone says sunline is the best. ive read some reviews that say its not as abrasion resistant as sufix or powerpro tho. i do have about 130 yds of powerpro left on a spool should i just use it or is there something way better out there?

jhoffman reply :

In my mind suffix is the best

robster80 reply :

ordered some mccoy spectra. i like their copolymer. forgot they made a braid

iceintheveins reply :

Power pro all the way.

Tywithay reply :

I've basically quit using braid, but the best I've used are 832, FX2, and Smackdown.

robster80 reply :

if mccoy doesnt work for me its back to powerpro. seems thats usually what happens when tryin different braid

OntarioFishingGuy reply :

I agree that 832 is the best. Tough as nails and round. Also repels water.

I only use Braid for my frog rod and All i have ever tried is power pro and i love it

Your going to get mixed input when you put "what is the best ......" on your title thread. Many of us on here have tried many different types braids and have narrowed down our go to braid through experience and time on the water. For many its Sunline, PP, Suffix, the list will go on and on. Only you will be able to determine what the "best" is. Although there are several great brands out there, I choose for the time being Power Pro. It's a braid that I have been using for years and it has never let me down. It lasts forever and I can find it cheaper at Walmart, than having to drive to a BPS or Dick's sporting goods which are both farther away from me.

I hate braid but when I have to use it, it's Kansen or better yet Daiwa Samurai if I can find it.

Smokinal reply :

Power Pro Super Slick ftw

Clickster reply :

This board loves PowerPro and Suffix.

I am a fan of Spiderwire. I love Spiderwire Ultra Cast Invisibraid.

Drewski73 reply :

I used Izorline braid for years in saltwater, and had a hard time liking anything else when I started bass fishing. So, I still fish Izorline mainly. I do have 2 reels spooled with smackdown and its really nice!

rippin-lips reply :

I've only ever used power pro because it's readily available to me at Walmart and is like $15. I won't say it's the best because I've got nothing to compare it to but it's worked good for the past 8yrs.

ZB85 reply :

I really like Sunline FX2 but i dont think you can wrong with PowerPro or Suffix 832. The worst I've used is spiderwire.

lol, sufix and power pro work great for me and its half the price...

Mr Swim Jig reply :

Daiwa Samurai is my favorite braid, but is pricey and I can't find it in any local stores. I have also used Power Pro, Suffix and Seaguar...

Right now I am really liking Seaguar Smack Down braid and it is really performing very well for me. I am using 30 and 40lbs test.
