I guess I have never seen any of this Braid, who stocks it?

Sensitivity of braid. Flourocarbon less visible. Cheaper leader will break first with less line loss. Yellow braid line visibility.


You know you are a fishaholic if you have more rods than your wife has shoes!

I really like the sensitivity of the braid. I feel the bite/nibble much better

I use 5lb K9 Crappie braid. Hi Vis. It's good stuff and yes the sensitivity is much better than mono or flouro. I use it without a leader.
