Mono mainline with 50lb Braid leader...

[Bankstick]

This is a difficult one ........ all my fishing is done with mono 10/12lb Big Game and a mono shock leader for big lakes ......... so 12lb mainline and a 35lb Kingfisher mono leader ........ best set-up I ever used !!!! and for years !!!

usually smaller lakes I cast so I go a 4 rod length Fireline leader 30lb and 12lb mono mainline ........ so far so good - touch wood.

Braid is expensive and too much drama most times - I've seen it tho I won't knock it - who knows maybe I'll spool up with it on the spare spools one day .. !!!!

What braid would you reckon is not too costly but excellent line?

Power Pro, Spider wire, Jerry Brown (contact Enigma on Sealine, just not sure of all the dia he stocks).

BUT, shop around, braid prices differ vastly from shop to shop.

Just remember, if you are not going to cast the braid, and you are now using a braid with a big breaking strain, you will basically be OK with any known brand.

Types, dia, poundage etc really gets into the equation when you have to cast.

Where can I get Spider wire at the best price? Doesn't matter where! I'll have them post it to me...
