Started using Bonehead braid last season and really like it. What's the difference in last years and the new braid. Last years braid was made with four strands of the material braided into one line. The new Bonehead braid is "six" strands braided into one line. Additionally it appears that the finished product is smaller in diameter than the older version and the finish is smoother. Overall, a great line. Josh has it in orange, yellow and white. I personally am using the yellow in 12# test. They dont have white as per Josh yesterday. White is what I wanted.

Just now ordered 2 spools of this from Josh. Hope it is as good as you say it is Guy Skinner. I have never been a fan of braid but since I am fishing the CAT Crappiefest may need it to land a Sharelunker bass as well as that 3 lb crappie for the win.

crope1, every braid I've ever used was about 50 times more sensitive than mono. Zero stretch so it takes some getting used to on the hook set - I just loosen my drag way up.
For you guys that like braid, what is your favorite knot?
I'm going to order some of the Bonehead and give it a try. Not sure if I'll get orange or yellow.
