Is this suitable for casting? Anyone had any experience using it in the 50-80lb line class?
Cheers.

| Never used it but when it comes to braid dont **** around - YGK ultra or castman or braids in that quality class,your lures and sanity are worth it. |

The best is Varivas GT or GT smp, number one surface casting line in the world.

Tony.. Kilsong has been having a few problems with the Varivas in Cape Cod chasing BFT and that place would be one of the few places left to really test tackle. Most of the captains only use and recomend Jerry brown Hollow braid. If yo want to do a search or ask Q's,go to Sportfisherman.com(lots of good info)  -------------  www.kavemantackle.co.nz

Many top anglers in the world uses varivas for their BFT and YFT no problems. It was Voted No1 casting briad in Japan, by all the shop and captains. No arguments here, but have you used both products? or Just read it from the others

 Whilst I'm sure Ross appreciates all you fellas thoughts on what is the best casting braid available and how good Varivas is but don't ya reckon he'd appreciate it even more if ya actually read his post and assisted him with his query? ------------- LedgeNZ LBG |

| I use rovex depthfinder braid, pretty sure they are the same just not colour changing, It is really good, the best i have used, pretty much use it daily for popper fishing off the rocks. |

| Nice and thin too, packs a lot more on the spool, which is very handy. (At least, the Rovex depthfinder stuff is, haven't tried the otehr stuff) |

| Have 50lb Rovex Viros braid on my popper set and seems ok. First couple of missions I kept getting loops in the braid casting that would tie themselves into a great knot that I couldnt untie. Non issue now so may just take a little while to bed down? |

| I got 600yrds of the rovex depth finder on the Fin-nor OF20 overhead, so it must be pretty skinny.... in fact, needed a fair amount of nylon backing on it just to fill the spool. |

| We use the Rovex depth in 80lb for jigging and Viro's 50lb for popper/stick baits and have no issues opposed to some of the better known brands out there. good consistent strength, good knot strength and excellent impact strength. what more can you ask for. that and the fact it's not rope and is priced very well. ++ very good trader would deal again :D |
