Favourite Braided Line 2025

Skspacemonkey reply :

Hi, I just bought a new jig and Texas rig combo and I’m thinking on using braided line on it for extra sensitivity. What is a good braid to use for a good price. Thanks!!

Todd2 reply :

Spiderwire, Power Pro, Sufix 832 are popular choices. I've finally committed to braid this year..straight braid with no leaders. To me, one of the benefits of braid is its strength..adding a leader only weakens it. I like Yellow line and I darken the last 10 feet or so with green. Still trying to find one with a little body. The yellow one I have is too limp and I get tip wraps some. I've got Spiderwire Invisibraid on one, it seems pretty good.

I'm sure some long time braid guys will chime in.

832, Smackdown,Fins, Gamma

Happybeerbuzz reply :

832 & PowerPro Spectra are my go tos. Last night I ordered a spool of Kastpro to try out. It’s very thin, and I am curious if it is just accurately rated unlike 832 & PowerPro which are much stronger than their rating.

LCG reply :

This year I am running kastking 4 strand braid in 10lb on spinning, 30lb for casting, and 50lb for frogs. All high vis yellow. So far it's been very solid. $15 Canadian for 550 yard spools, you can't really go wrong. $45 total and I have more line than I will use in 5 years.

For braid I use Power Pro in either Moss Green or Hi Viz yellow. Fluoro I use Seagaur InvizX.

CroakHunter reply :

Kastking, daiwa j-braid, and power pro are the types I've used. Prefer the daiwa j-braid x4

Graham reply :

Power Pro.

Bluebasser86 reply :

I use 3 braids, KastKing Super Power, Seaguar Smackdown, and Seaguar Flipping Braid. For what you're wanting to do, I'd suggest going with either the Smackdown or Flipping depending on what lb test you want.

I have a very bad experience with spider , never again .

RichF reply :

If you can find it, American Tackle Bushido braid is really good stuff. I'm also a big fan of Sunline FX2.

Anything but spider wire

I have Power Pro Super Slick 8 on my spinning rod and Tuf-Line Supercast on my topwater rod and both are great braided lines.

Jaderose reply :

832 for me as well.

832 in Camo

Boomstick reply :

Daiwa J-Braid x8 has been a solid line at a good price. If you need something more abrasion resistant try Power Pro Max Cuatro.

I almost pulled the trigger on that but went with InvisiBraid..how does it compare to the Original fireline or Nanofil (If you've tried those?)

onenutinthewater reply :

I have never tried the original fireline but the Ultra is much better than Nanofil as it does not fray.

ww2farmer reply :

Original Power Pro is my go-to line, but I have subbed in Spider Wire Stealth, and Suffix braid with no difference in performance.

bhoff reply :

I usually just go with PowerPro because it's able to be found in almost any store. That being said, I was in the tackle store recently and saw some Daiwa J-Braid 8X and decided to give it a shot. So far nothing to complain about. Also its a lot quieter going through the guides than standard PP because of the 8 woven strands versus standard PP which is < 8. I've heard some people having problems with abrasion on higher thread count braids but so far so good.

Dangerfield reply :

PowerPro Spectra is good braid and I would run it on my frogging rod but I'm testing out the 50lb x4 J-Braid which is holding up nice and didn't lose any colour. I've tried the PP Super Slick, it's silky, strong, and it works but loses colour quick and frays way too easy. I just started using PP Maxcurato for my cranking rod, it's like Spectra but with a coating and it's 25% thinner than Spectra but same strength. The 40lb is equal to 8lb mono in diameter. I really like it so far no break offs. I forgot to mention it's a bit noisy through the guides but nothing like heavy FC. Haven't tried any either brands, I've got confidence in PP.
