I know this subject has probably been done to death, but what braid in the medium price bracket do you guys recommend for throwing stickbaits at 10-20kg harbour kingies, probably looking at getting either 65 or 80lb. Was thinking of getting tasline elite, whats peoples opinions of it for casting? |

I have it in 50lb and 80lb, and it's a great line. Originally got some Tasline Elite White for soft baiting, and liked it so much I got some for top water as well. With the 50lb I can cast lures from 45g upwards like a rocket. I know line isn't the only factor in castability and lack of tangles etc, but I'm very happy with it. I don't have experience of Varivas etc, but I don't have any complaints about Tasline Elite White. I plan to get some 30lb for light top water. |

I've been using jigstar hollowcore recently on my casting setup and am liking it Not to rough on the fingers and casts a mile. |
