Hi Guys, I'm getting a 2500 Certate next week and i've had a lot of trouble deciding which braid to get. i've been tossing up between quite a few but still can't decide so i was just wondering what you guys think? cost isn't an issue.

cheers sam

Recently switched over from Fins to Sunline, now I understand why people call Fins 'rope' lol. Sunline best braid I've used so far. Also heard good things about Varivas.

There are heaps on the market now.

What braking strain are you looking for.

I went with 15lb on my new CI4+ 3000 fins brand as it was available.

Fins braid is decent but I wouldn't rave about it.

There are different strand mixes which can effect how it feels as well as fused, semi fused, coated ect.

If you want the best IMO Tasline is the best I have used, just be aware all the top shelf super thin braids are often fragile ie low abrasion resistance.

I use sunline super PE on a few of my spinning reels. I moved from fins about 12 months ago and never looked back.

I use YGK gsoul upgrade wx8 and it is by far the best line I've used, a few others on here use it too and I'm pretty sure they all love it as well

Tasline if you've got the money. YGK is good but will give you problems casting heavier weights and snaps if it so much as touches a rock ledge.
