| 1800m spool of daiwa boat braid, really nice stuff. I think I got a spool delivered for around $300 nz recently (compared with around $180-200 for 300m of varivas/YGK). |

Seeing as this is in the topwater section.......are you meaning braid in general or more a casting braid? ------------- Once the idiots turn up..Im outta here...No time for Drama Queens. |

I brought some of that Gosen 4-5yrs ago and have it on my 4000P Ocea Jigger Graeme and never had any breakages(includes 2 trips to 3 kings) Never knew it was available in NZ, it is awesome stuff. Cheers ------------- www.kavemantackle.co.nz

Yep posted it here because I'm keen to check out the options for topwater braid, I'm gonna buy some and am keen to see what other people are using. I don't need so many KMs of it just to spool a reel so the Daiwa boat braid is out, is the Gosen Jigging Braid good as a casting braid? |

It's one of the slickest braids I have seen in years, I have the thin PE0.8 Gosen Omega on a small spin reel and it's ideal for casting ------------- www.synit.co.nz |
