Gonna Love it.
Since I tried it (40lbs but actual 59lbs breaking) I never bought anything else (2 seasons in a row on 3 different reels)]]> Thu, 11 Feb 2016 13:53:58 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=113729&PID=1619680&title=tasline-braid#1619680 <![CDATA[Tasline Braid : Just received my Elite series...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=113729&PID=1619414&title=tasline-braid#1619414 Author: Big Manly Yaka

Just received my Elite series order from Busted fishing, very keen to get this on a spool and give it a flick. This week would have been mint to get out there if it wasn't for pesky work! Interesting that this stuff's has the 'actual average' breaking weight printed on the label.If it is actually 14lb then its certainly going to be stronger (and thinner) than the Premium stuff I bought in November, both sold as 8lb.
Will report back once I've had a good play with it.

Hey Monaco, no I'm after line int he 6-10lb rating and I can only find this stuff I'm using now. By reports here on the forum its not the top of the range stuff they make but currently its the only thing available in that weight. Would like to try the "Elite White" in the lower weight if I can find it but not sure they make it at the moment.

I have had a few snaps to 40cm and a couple of good size KY give it a good stretch, and something very big that wasn't going to stop before snapping the hook, so its standing up ok with the right drag settings. I would be a bit apprehensive about using it around any shallow foul though, as when knotting it up a few times I've snapped it when brushing against the workbench under tension.



Hi Big Manly Yaka,

Ever tried the Elite White?
Been using it for a season now and never got any issue with it, 40lb with +60gr lures (soft and hard). The best braid I had to use so far.

Well first outing this arvo was short lived. Managed about half a dozen casts (landed 1 panny) then got wrapped around the third guide during cast and snap! I thought maybe it had a bit if twist from the spool so trailed it all out on the way home and wound it back on. From the short test I thought it was pretty good. Super thin and casts a mile. Will report back once I've a bit more of a play with it.
Just adding to this it must have been a wind knot as it snapped the braid when my leader would have been through the the third guide at the start of the cast so, being so light and thin it may have been  a bit more susceptible to the wind that was blowing last night.

Whats the difference? more strands? diameter wise how does the 20lb elite compare with the 8lb?
For $30 for 300m 8lb good value regardless imo.
