Re: '8 carrier' low vis green braid around 4lb!
Just get some sunline super pe in 8lb. It will still cast as good aa 4lb mono. And will be a lot better to manage
Although if using spinners you will get a lot of line twists on braid.

Re: '8 carrier' low vis green braid around 4lb!
Just sayin' but I binned my super PE - had lots of issues with weird random break-offs. Asked about it on BM and I wasn't alone. Dunno if it was a dodgy batch but it put me off. I'm running 6lb gekka and power pro at the moment - gekka on the finesse outfit - crazy thin for it's breaking strain

Re: '8 carrier' low vis green braid around 4lb!
A good cheap line is Varivas high grade pe, I have it on 3 reels and it's been perfect. Not the quality of the more expensive braids, but I'm not a fan of spending **** loads on braid.
At $25 a spool it's awesome and would rate it higher than the super pe.

Re: '8 carrier' low vis green braid around 4lb!
never had any issues on the 8lb, not sure on other breaking strains, the 6 wasn't that good from what I heard.sloth wrote:Just sayin' but I binned my super PE - had lots of issues with weird random break-offs.

Re: '8 carrier' low vis green braid around 4lb!
I had a couple of spools of super pe and had a pretty shitty batch at one point. Took it off and put milky on. Didn't rate that either. Haha. Funny how these things work.purple5ive wrote:never had any issues on the 8lb, not sure on other breaking strains, the 6 wasn't that good from what I heard.sloth wrote:Just sayin' but I binned my super PE - had lots of issues with weird random break-offs.

Re: '8 carrier' low vis green braid around 4lb!
The 8lb was the one I had issues with. Reckon there was just a dodgy batch going round, I was probably just unlucky. Not game to give it another run.
Re: '8 carrier' low vis green braid around 4lb!
Never had probs with the 8lb super PE, great line for price.
The 6lb on the other hand would ghost break far too often.
