It is important to check your braid / mono regularly through each session, ensuring no abrasion issues that may result in a lost fish! We look to renew the braid on our reels every year, or sooner if need be.
We much prefer braid over mono especially when drifting over deepwater wrecks off Anglesey, the low diameter allows for less drag in the tide, so less lead required. Berkley and Spiderwire are long established as market leaders in braid, with Berkley Fireline regarded as the best in the modern Superlines for over 2 decades. A reputation for being strong and more abrasion resistant than others yet maintaining a low diameter for its strength
Our preferred braids are either 13.9 kgs Berkley Fireline or 18kgs Spiderwire Stealth Smooth x12, the diameter of each braid 0.20mm & 0.19mm respectively.
New and improved FireLine® is smoother, tougher, and more sensitive! 8-strand fused technology provides unmatched abrasion resistance making it 5X’s tougher than conventional braided lines. It has a smoother, more supple feel for a longer casting Fireline®!
