Had a buddy give me a spool of samuria braid 3 years ago and have been fishing it ever since. I haven't had it break on me, doesn't fade anywhere close to what Power pro does and it is alot smoother & rounder than Power Pro....this makes it almost silent thru the guides and the roundness keeps it from digging in on hooksets. Just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with it.

My son has tried Samurai braid when it first came out. He got it cheaper than power pro it act like the original spider wire. It is good line now it is over priced fishing line. One you build and fish with your own hand built custom rod you will fish with nothing else!

It is the roundest smoothest line by far�.I�ve tried Pline Spectrex braid,Fireline,Spiderwire,Stren ,Tufline XP and PowerPro. PowerPro is the closest but not as round. On the other hand Sufix is a little more expensive. I�ve never tried Diawa Samuria Braid. [img] [/img] Sometimes I wish i never picked that rod up!
