Better Braid JB Hollow or JB Solid

<< < (2/2)

Rick Smith:
I heard that tying friction knots in hollow is just as good as when you tie it in solid. Anyone know this to be true? And when comparing the jb solid and hollow, the hollow is a higher strand product which means it is stronger than the equivalent size solid?

Andy Rowe:
I Tried 80lb hollow, it is strong an durable but found it does not cast as well as round braids. With any wind around the flat braid seemed to catch it more which took distance of the cast.

Craig Maree:
Thanks for all the info guys.

I used the 60lb JB hollow and found that it casts better than the Tufline XP 65lb. 

Travis Heaps:
Craig, how did you go splicing the 60lb?  I seriously struggled to splice the 130lb hollow, and since that's the primary advantage of the hollow I personally go the solid every day of the week, interested to hear your thoughts.
