Varivas PE Braid

[Charles Cintron]

Can anyone please explain the differences in these lines? I visited Sansui in Japan and they spoke limited english but got the interpretation that 3&4 were the same thing? Its kind of confusing with the names having little variance. I currently use number 3 but was wondering about the other lines.

I use Varivas Avani Casting ( Blue color ) for my freshwater application , mostly PE 2.5 n PE3 , on my baitcaster reels . I am happy with this line .

I use Varivas Avani GT Max Power for popping ( White color )  , PE 5 ~ PE10 . I am happy with this line .

I have used Varivas Avani GT SMP , I am not too happy with this line and in my opinion , due to the line being too thin , it is prone to break caused by shock during a violent strike from GT .

I have tried Varivas Super PE line for light jigging , I am still undecided with this particular line .

I am not so sure 3 and 4 are the same Charles. I think 3 is mainly a light line with a max size of PE4 or PE5 (someone please correct if I am wrong)?  Number 4 is one many GT anglers use and comes in sizes PE5 to PE12.

5, I would imagine, is the limited edition green version of 4 which came out last year. If so, it is the same line as 4 but a different colour.

6 has some mixed reports, particularly with stress explosions. It is a fantastically fine and supple line though and casts so well.

1, 2 and 7, I know nothing much about.

OK thanks,

When I asked the salesman at sansui what the difference was between 3&4 the only english word that came out was "same". So I bought 3 in a PE 8 300m spool. But I was thinkin they were different because they had different labels. Sounds like 3, 4, and 5 are the ones to stick with for GT popping.

Does anyone know the diameter of what I have listed as 3 and 4  in PE 8 and PE10? I have looked on the varivas english version website and it does not list it or I did not see it?

thanks
