Tasline braid is made in NZ and the 'All White" stuff has been produced for a line tester in Aussie who rates it highly.
 
 
Anyone used it? Im interested in putting the PE 3.5 on a PE4 reel, the numbers look good but almost too good.
 
Any feedback appreciated, cheers Muzza

Why dont you get ahold of Pete Lamb at his shop in wellington & ask, he uses & sells it. Seen as he does a lot of trench charter trips he would use & see a lot of braid at depth. Try here him here:

So this aussie dude Paulus has been around for a while line testing, he has a very informative website. He has teamed up with tasline from nz and started his own line of braid.
I just bought some PE3.5 (78lb) of tasline white. It looks the goods. Real thin and smooth, feels nice.
I had been fishing JB hollow 60lb and had the same problem as you, needed more capacity for deep drops on my PE4.
JB hollow 60lb also has a breaking strain of a bit under 80lb, and it is a nice braid but too thick for the PE4.
 
I got a full 500 yards of tasline PE3.5 on my PE4, mean!!!
Paulus sent a sample of his other lines, from PE.2 to PE8, they also look pretty impressive. His lighter lines (PE .2, .4) are crazy thin, dosent seem possible you could fish them!
He also sent a couple of samples of his innovative 'pull on leaders' which allow you to use a wind-on with the solid mainline, no splicing needles, for a near 100% connection.
 
I fished it the other day, fishes real nice, coated so dosnt absorb much water, not too limp or stiff. I cant comment on durability yet, but my initial thoughts are; its the bomb!
I paid about $115 for 500yards of the PE3.5, including postage. I would rate it higher than some braids twice the price.
 
Unless I get unexplained failures I will be getting more for my other reels for sure.

I have 600m of the white 50lb on my Accurate BX600n.
I sometimes jig very deep with it.
 
I got a Killwell Talon rod off Swordfish steve for it years ago (three or 4 at least) and it's my big king deep jigging set up.
 
It is still my "daily driver" though cause I like it better in terms of action to my jig star 250 setup.
 
I have wound that line up hundreds no thousands of times!
Particularly the last 100m as most of my king marks are around 70m and some down to about 80.
 
The line is still EXACTLY as new to look at, no frays nothing.
 
It lays well and is thin for it's strength.
 
I have landed hundreds of fish with this by now as well.
 
Hell some were even legal and some were so big I had to put them back...
 
Casting is much harder on braid I know than jigging so can't speak to that but I would buy this line again in a second.
 
If you miss the depth markers maybe not but I can pretty much judge where I am on the drop anyway and I don't seem to suffer agains my rods that do have rainbow.
 
I just got Deacs Killwell Talon heavy metal in 250 grms to replace the jigstar if I like the action better as my heavy rod is a 350 talon which I love.
If it works and it becomes my daily driver I will have Paulus send me some more of his line for that set up.

Mitch, i have just loaded my 3 slow jigging reels with the All White Series, very very nice braid and very thin. Each spool is tested and BS written on spool. My 30lb tested at 48lb. $230NZ for 1000m

PS i tried the Speckled braid and did not like it at all for slow jigging, might be good for casting though, but i didnt try it for that

Don't wana be a mocker, but I recall talking to some people about braided lines hollow core etc, I asked this guy about this stuff and reckoned he had some on his reel once and after some use the line ended up expanding and bust his reels so was talked out of it? Was looking at lines for deepdropping for swords at the time

I've just ordered  1000m of the 40lbs for deep dropping and stickbaits - Pualus ifs the braid guru, so the product should be good - and no knot to the leader has to be the go when flinging stickbaits around - I hope so anyway Wink

Can you elaborate at all? To my knowledge Braid only stretches about 3% which is typically not enough to cause shrinkage on a  spool which leads to spools blowing out. Braid also doesn't absorb water, so isn't prone to expansion?

I have been using it ...I bought the 30 pound(300 metres) which breaks at 48 pound......the 50 pound is the best ....its an 8 carrier braid that is classed as pe 3.5 as thats its thickness..........breaks at 78 pound.
Very thin for its class......Have bought both 30 and 50 pound from Daniel.............being made in nz...I would have thought it was available over there.
got 230-240 metres on my stella sw5000.
Jiggy jig.....you are better off with the 50 pound as its thinner than the 40....has a higher breaking strain and is an 8 carrier braid.......the 40 pound is thicker and a 6 carrier braid i think.....its a tad more expensive mind but not by much.
Once the idiots turn up..Im outta here...No time for Drama Queens.
