YGK and Varivas all the way]]> Thu, 02 Jan 2014 03:29:50 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=96554&PID=1394503&title=braid-options#1394503 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=96554&PID=1389852&title=braid-options#1389852 Author: waynorth

Tasline is NZ made & rated pretty highly by Paulus - in fact he sells it - but he's more focused on quality & strength - don't know if he gets into castability. His site can be a bit hard to read, but some seriously good info in there.

Heard good reports about the Varivas, but hard to go past YGK if you don't mind spending the $'s, though the Jigman X8 is about the same price as the Varivas. Daiwa's Saltiga boat & Tournament are a bit cheaper & probably good value for money.

If it's 6 or 8 strand & made in Japan or the USA it should be quality braid - just be careful with the TradeMe $30 specials ]]> Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:07:37 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=96554&PID=1389852&title=braid-options#1389852 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=96554&PID=1389827&title=braid-options#1389827 Author: segador

Has any one used the Jig star braid on a spinning reel for top water? If so did it work out all right? Got a 300m spool and thinking about using it on my saltist. Yeah or nah?

I was using 50lb powerpro, and have recently respooled with YGK castman PE6, which has made a massive difference to my casting range. It is much more supple than normal braid, and I'm noticing less wind knots.]]> Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:03:28 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=96554&PID=1383751&title=braid-options#1383751
