Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques

Best all round braid for popping

<< < (2/3) > >>

Stephen Polzin:
I was using some YGK x4 jigman at first but was getting some terrifying wind knots.  I also found it to be very unreliable and would often break under the slightest preasure for no apparent reason.  I may have somehow contributed to this but I haven't experienced it with any other braid. 

I have used Platil hotfibre which is very good, though now I'm using Daiwa Sensor Braid.  Casts well, very strong, reliable and great to use. 

Greg Burt:
The YGK Pro Hunter is the X4 braid, I only use that in 35lb for 'normal'
 fishing and still with apprehension. :-\

Hon-Su Chin:
Likewise for me, cant beat value for money on the Tuf Line.....I keep my Varivas and other "exxy" lines for jigging.

Sachin Chaudhry:
I use Power Pro in 80lb. Have used Izorline and Tufline XP. The Izorline is tough wearing stuff but a bit thicker than the Power Pro as well as being a little expensive.
I must admit the Power Pro leave little room for complaints. I do not get air knots, and it ties well. Abrasion resistance is pretty good and in fact if a GT does find the coral ANY braid will be gone in a second.
Have not used YGK or Varivas but when the Power Pro suits my needs so well I see little reason to.

Luke Wyrsta:
I think we are all in agreeance - whether it be performance or price you simply can't beat TufLine XP. Period.

Brandon - i have used 130lb Varivas of a standard 10000 spool - it performed quite well and i wasn't really worried about capacity - that is if you only ever hook-up to GTs and the usual reef gang.

Varivas is good but only a luxury from my POV.
