Braid recommendations from ebay

Post by 8BALL » Mon May 22, 2017 1:49 pm

Hi folks, looking at spooling 2 x 10000 reels and was wondering what is a good value for money?

I don't want to pay big $$$ - don't mind eBay brands as long as it's worth it

I used shimano pro depth hunter multi colour brand on my Saragosa 10000. I think it's value for money and quite strong and reliable especially when you plait it ;)

I think the 50lb is roughly 200-250 for 1500 yards or so. Probably be enough for 2 reels. I got 600 or so on my gosa. (Don't remember exactly)

Do you want 50lb braid or 30lb braid?
I think its good ebay braid
I think spools of both can give you a good deal

I've been quite happy with Rovex braid, I've never had wind knots or tangles, Dinga always has it at great prices, price doesn't always dictate quality.
He who has the most fishing rods WINS ! :ts:

I had my shimano matched up with a daiwa crest and i was slapping salmon with stick baits.. the amount of times i hit my boat with the stick bait wasnt funny. I didnt like them at all... not a smooth reel! sticking to my stradic ci4... However.. having said that.. My first game combo isnt shimano :snap:
