Braid Buyers Guide

[fishing_in_israel]

First the small print I know that Ted doesn't much like linking to other forums but since the below has nothing to do with lures, let alone Rapala lures, I'm sure it will be OK

Found this great online resource for all things braid. The first link is a table of manufacturers' stated specs and actual specs:

Braid Buyers Guide

This second and third links are to a couple of threads in his forum which discusses how braid fairs with usage (very informative and interesting - including photos):

How Good is your Braid after use, maybe not so good
Braid Photos,,, Used Braid Tests and 100 Stroke Test

And lastly, some info about why your braid varies in thickness and breaking strains - and in different batches -- explains why some folks complain about break-offs whilst others say it great line with no problems at all:

Braid,,, ABS Strength Variations in Batchs,,, here is Why

Hope this clears up some questions and thoughts you may have had, or might have had in the future.
