We use 100 and 60lb on our Stella 10000's seems no point in buying the 80lb as it is thicker than the 100lb, great braid, good price and seems to last very well and casts good, not sure on capacity on 8000 or 10000 but we have never had an issues with not enough string, crew have caught Yellow fin over 50kegs and never any danger of being spooled, should be fine a average Kingi. After a bit of use it is hard to tell the difference in size between the 60 and 100lb, I pulled two reels out the other day and could not pick the difference in size. Good stuff you will not regret buying. I think the colored braid is a little thicker? I will say that splicing it is a pain in the butt and the older it gets it is impossible. We have started using the 100lb as backing on our Tiagra 50WRSL's get about 1100m and a 200m 80lb top shot.]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:23:03 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75083&PID=1071204&title=jerry-brown-solid#1071204 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75083&PID=1070611&title=jerry-brown-solid#1070611 Author: Boulder

I have been using JB solid for popping for a while now ,in the 50 , 80 , 100 , lb I have not had a problem with it , nor with wind knots ,I use a FG knot to leader , so far so good . find what you are happy with , there is a lot of good braid out there for popping and jigging . I chase GTs on a Saragosa 8000 , and I have not had to worry about enough line [ 50 lb ] JB.]]> Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:59:04 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75083&PID=1070415&title=jerry-brown-solid#1070415 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75083&PID=1070392&title=jerry-brown-solid#1070392 Author: fishntips

thanks Boulder, good to know. I could only get my hand on the multi colour hollow in 60lb 300yds. I read that all braids are essentially white as they can't actually colour the pe line, essentially they add a colour coating. Probably why the white is so popular. Castaway

I have 4 reels spooled with JB Hollow and they are my casting reels. Smooth as and I am yet to get a wind knot. Its the plain white hollow and I must say I like it a lot]]> Fri, 27 Jan 2012 23:39:38 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75083&PID=1070216&title=jerry-brown-solid#1070216 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75083&PID=1070196&title=jerry-brown-solid#1070196 Author: kaveman

plenty mate, plenty of drag and all OK until you get reefed
