8 Strand Braid

[KickNBass]

Well, as you can probably tell, I've decided tp re-evaluate all fishing line at this point this year. Been pretty comfortable in what I have been using but have seen enough on this board to question my knowledge on line.

So, for braid, it seems the new thing is to have an eight strand braid?

True or False?

Pros and Cons?

Who is making the best these day in your opinion?

I don't agree with having what is new = the best. I've been using Berkley Fireline Braid for the past few years and haven't even thought about a different braid. It works great for me.

I agree, I really like the Fireline braid too. I have had really good results with it. But everyone has there favorite. Also with the price of line these days, I have not tried them all. I went through a couple brands, had the best results with fireline, and than stopped looking at others.

I actually haven't had many braids I don't like, recently have used Stren, Spider Wire, Power Pro and Suffix and have been generallly happy. Don't think I've tried an eight strand yet though...

I have used a few braids, but I've bought way more power pro than anything else. I don't go for the newest and greatest usually.

Personally I don't like fireline braid because it cuts through 25lb fluoro when I try to tie on a leader with back to back uni knots.
