Jig Star have just launched a range of X16 (16 strand) Hollow braid. Hollow braid is primarily used as backing for game reels, the main IGFA nylon section is spliced (top shot) into the hollow braid offering a smooth, strong connection.  Hollow braid is also used to create the loop-loop connections of windon leaders.   The task of splicing is much easier with the use of Jig Star's vast needle range and the use of Tacglue to close off the served splice.  

Available at your favourite tackle store should be Hollow Core Braid  in 80, 100, 130lb (plus other sizes), serving braid, needle kits and Tacglue. 
Just in time for the Swordy season.

give it death!

Have just spooled a 50A reel and spliced a top shot into it - must be some of the nicest hollow braid I’ve used and I’ve used Tasline ,Power Pro , Jerry Brown .
Favourite hollow braid👍🏻
