What lb Braid Advice for Big GTs

[Ben Rivers]

Hi All,

New to GT fishing - can I please have some advice on what lb braid I should use on my Stella 20000 for GTs in the Coral Sea?

Thanks Ben

PE8/100lb would do in most instances. If fishing shallow reefs and encountering big fish you might want to upgrade to PE10/130lb.

I currently have 80lb Depth Finder braid - I guess I should upgrade to heavier lb.
Thanks for the advice!

most pro GT anglers prefered Varivas Avani GT PE8 100lb and Avani GT SMP PE8 120lb.....easily filled 300m in standard stella 18k spool.....

Would Jerry Brown be a suitable replacement?

JB braid is awesome. IMO 100lb solid JB braid would be the go. 

[Ben Rivers]

Great! its also pretty modiest on the wallet!

you don't need Varivas GT, let alone SMP. The JB solid spectra is an excellent braid for a much cheaper price.

What about tuff line xp

TF XP is good too but I prefer the JB solid spectra

2nd that one.

Brandon put me onto the JB and it is the best braid I have used I believe.

Haven't  tried JB braid yet  how much of 80lb will it take to fill the spool of a Stella 18000?  will order some tomorrow to try it for my self 

[Ben Rivers]

I'm going to order 600m of 130lb Solid JB.

just get 80lbs powerpro or tuffline, plenty of power.
