as jy die geld het om dit te koop doen dit, ek het gespaar en dit op my katrol gesit en nog nie een dag jammer gewees nie. kingfisher 8kg is die goedkoopste daai tyd gewees
Jy cast verder ek het met 30m verbeter.
ek het dit al amper 2jaar en dit is nog soo goed soos nuut behalwe vir die kleur wat begin afgan
die heel beste ding van braid is geen leaders nie, pasop net vir die sny op die vinger as jy cast.
en nog 'n goeie ding is net een spool per katrol jy het nie nodig om 5 spools soos party ouens saam jou rond te ry een met dik lyn een met ligte lyn bla bla bla, die briad is reg vir enige hengel ek vang babers met dit van die boot af en doen oewerhengel vir karp dit werk regtig vir als soo in die long run spaar jy geld. wel dis my 50c
o ja en ek het met dit op die see gehengel in maart maand mooi kob gekry soo ek hammer my braid as dit hou vir my sal dit heel moontlik vir almal kan hou.

Started using braid back in 1990. For bank and R.S angling.
You buy once and dont look back. Spend the money and buy Berkley fireline. I replaced my first after 7 years in use.
Casting--Further-line is lighter
Diameter-- Smaller dia--line is stronger--more line on smaller reel
Life span-- No comparison --will outlast mono 10X
Durability ----BRAID does not like rocks--Fireline no problem
Also a big advantage is now that when you get stuck and you have to break your main line, you now only loose your trace because your mainline is 2 to 3 x as strong ( reels dont get empty.)
What you will have to get used to.
New braid/fireline is hard in its new stage, but with a couple of casts becomes more supple.
When new does not sink as easy as used for a while.
Always cast with your drag tight, as a line slip on the finger will cause a burn or a cut.
Fish with a looser drag as usual as braid has no stretch in it, so when a fish turns on you, the drag takes the punch and not the stretch as with mono.
Get to know this product and you will never look back.

I bought my first bass rod and reel 2nd hand and it already had fireline on. I think this was about 4 years ago. I still use that same line on that reel. most days after the days fishing I cut off the front half a meter because its frayed.
As like what most people said here, I cast further with it. I also feel every bump, and never miss a bite.
Subsequently, every new reel that I have bought since then I spooled with Fireline. I don't own baitcasters so I cannot comment on that, but when I do, I will spool fireline on that too.
I have heard many people on this forum say that they have cut their fingers when casting. Maybe I dont cast hard enough, but I have never had that issue. I have had big Bass on my ultra light tackle drag me over rocks, and I have yet to be cut off.
I use the same gear for fishing in the surf, but I have not been succesful catching fish with dropshot, as I need some coaching to read water and such.
When I fish in clear water I put a swivel at the end of my fireline and then add a meter or less of Berkley Vanish for a leader. When I get stuck and need to snap my line, my swivel comes back without fail.
Invest in a spool of Fireline, you will never look back!!

I know the best braid you possibly can get is fireline, but for conventional fishing I wont buy fireline, its double the price of kingfisher braid, so in other words I can spool 2 reels with kingfisher and only one with fireline and is it really worth the money? they do the same job and the only thing were they are better is possibly in the life span. but for the price of fireline 2spools I can buy 4 spools of kingfisher. but that is just my reason and Naruto If you just want to test braid dont buy the best there is, because there is lots of people that hate braid.

No i will not even concider using braid for comp angling. Fish with 5lb double x and you will get more than enough distance. I don't think there is a possibility that braid would outcast 5lb double x or any other 0.17mm monofilament line.
The reason why braid is not suited to comp bank angling is because it doesn't stretch. Every twitch the fish makes will put more pressure on the fish's mouth, which could cause hookpulls.
The only place where braid might help is when you fish for barbel. The low stretch of the braid will help you set the hook properly.

Guys what about using a shock leader just before your trace. wouldn't that absorb the tension? I attached a fly tip and leader onto my fireline and i've never lost a fish.

Not if you are fishing with 0.8 hooks and catch comp size fish.
I use Braid and you have to make a few changes to make braid work for you,
first you must make your drag half of what it always is. a longer sinker line, and snell your hooks then I promise you that a .8 hook wil not pull, I had a few hook pulls but its sorted after that changes, it works for me.

Conventional Angling and Braid = windknots.
Ek gebruik as my eie reel (nie gegewe nie) braid slegs as ek social aangesien ek gereeld oor die 200 meter dan hengel. As ek cast - gebruik ek mono.
by komp karp hengel gebruik ek will braid - maar dit is op my spod rod en marker rod - nie my hengel stokke nie
