Hi,
I'm fancying having a go at roving/rolling using a centrepin, and plan to use braid as mainline for the extra "touch" factor. Can anyone recommend a good one to go for? Thanks, R. |

spiderwire origanal is a good one (not stealth or fusion type) any good sinking braid should be ok,i've been using climax braid
CLIMAX-SINKING-21LB-100M-BRAID steve

Berkley Fireline in 14lb on my Abu 54 - good stuff and relatively cheap.

Thanks for all suggestions.
I've ordered 100m of Climax Sinking 11.8lb, and am bidding on 300 yds of 15lb moss green Powerpro. I'll try both and see how I get on. Cheers, R. |

Nothing wrong with mono - I use 10lb Maxima on my fixed-spool reels.
I just fancy having a go at roving/rolling and thought I'd give braid a go as it apparently gives you more "touch" as it doesn't stretch. I'm not convinced about its abrasion resistance though. Only time will tell ... R. |
