i was going to use dawia 80lbs boat braid, which i bought from the states in bulk an use on my heavy jigging set up, of am i best off buying the other braid you guys are talking about for my first trip or will this stuff be fine?
Sam.I would suggest that you insert at least 3 feet of mono into jb hollow ans use jb130 instead of jb200. Then put about 13 kg tension on the wind on while you do the serving.If you only use 1 feet mono insertion and no tension while serving, the mono has a big chanse of slipping ( replying from my htc so some spelling might be off) Patrick

Sam.I myself just use a doorhandle for the loop and a 13 kg weight attached to the end of the wind on.( mono)After I have done the serve, I then do atleast 50 dead lifts with the same 13 kg weight to test the wind on/ serve.Patrick.
Has anyone got pictures or a link on how this insertion method of tying a leader to hollow braid works?
Sam. I have newer spliced variva pe8 and jb hollow.If I however would do it I would splice 3*1 feet into jb100 leaving about 1 foot tag end for uni serves on both sides.Im away and have no axcess to my bookmarks or images but will be back next week and can post/ link then if ok.( browsing the web on a smartphone is no joy :/ )
Agreed - I regard it as the best value braid on the marketQuote from: Ladd Yoshimura on July 26, 2011, 04:55:12 PMIf you're more on a budget, Jerry Brown spectra is a great alternative.

Byron, I think in the first instance, you should be working off what leader you need
