Braid: hollow or solid?
Mark Harris:
Interesting that you had problems with Sunline Monster Battle Alex as this is is a line put forward as an alternative to Varivas Avani GT Max.
What exactly were the knot problems please?
Andy Rowe:
Second Mark's request on the monster battle Alex, I had put PE8 on a couple of my spools last year as well, no issues FG knotting but I unfortunately did not get to test it on fish yet.
Luke Wyrsta:
Touching on Andy's mention, the hollow ties fine for friction knots, no real additional effort required. Splicing and loops are a big advantage but for anyone out there concerned about friction knots - you can be confident.
John Cahill:
Mark Harris, thanks for directing me to this thread as I was going through all these same questions - really good to hear I can take confidence in friction knots on hollow AND their are sound reasons to use hollow..... will be spooling up with JB130 now! cheers guys
Mark Harris:
Yep John. After the reassurances posted above and the fact that the JB hollow seems to do so well under shock load, I will be giving it it a try as well. Apart from anything else I am so over paying Varivas Avani Max prices!
