I used some JB 100lb hollow on a recent trip, very happy with it, casts well, fairly tough and I'm going to splice some more on top to re-fill the spool, it's well priced and it handled biggish GT's without breaking. I think it will largely replace my varivas PE8 spools.

Brandon Khoo:
I think it undersells the JB hollow core just a little to say the jury is still out on it, Jon. It's been proven time and again in many areas around the world.

Hi Brandon ,

Not trying to undersell anything but I still have a few Varivas Avani GTMax  bulk spools of Tuffline XP albeit I do have 1 spool of JB 80 lbs. white coloured line which I bought awhile ago , I guess I must try it but has no empty spool to fill at the moment .

Jon .

Jon ,

Try  "Blackwater Super Braid X16 Hollow "a really smooth hollow braid

Gavin Ng:
is there any advantage of going holow if you dont splice?

anyone care to give an opinion on the max drag that jerry brown 65lb solid cant be fished?

Cheers
