| Started a thread on reel questions, but decided to ask here as well. Due to an unfortunate accident (little nephew) i find my self needing to replace the line on my 20k. I had 395 meters/yards (what ever power pro measured in) on my reel now reduced to about 200-250. Once i have $200 saved I'm looking to replace with 80lb line, i want maximum capacity, i fish mostly at kaikoura with uncle an friends, and some drops are 300mters plus. And should chance occur a jigging session when in north island visiting rele's. Would prefer metered braid. So whats my best option inside my budget? |

You can get 1800m of Diawa Saltiga boat braid 80lb delivered to your door for approx $300NZ from USA, Way cheaper to buy bulk and it is metered and top quality braid -------------  www.kavemantackle.co.nz
