I use the Kevlar infused braid from bank tackle, good stuff, strong and supple 👍🏽 I would add a link but I don't know how to 😫

The Kevlar infused braid from BT is good but not as supple as the Aquasilk
So not as good for solid bags imho

Here's something a bit different.

Go on Ebay and have a look at the Dongbory 8 Braid Soft Hook link, its about £6 for 20m (25/35lb) and it's up there for me with the well known brands. I use the Camo Green and have it in both sizes.

ESP anchor braid is spot on. Supple but sinks like a brick.

Thanks for that link it looks good as though it might be okay so I've ordered a spool to try. I've been looking for a replacement for the old kryston silkworm for ages and by the photos this looks very similar.

You'll be impressed with it. I think I have about 5 spools of it and use it for all my solid bags apart from when I'm targeting catfish. Awesome stuff 👍

Well the braid turned up this week while I was fishing but just had a look at it.

It's everything you said it was and I've compared it to the last bit of kryston silkworm I have and it is almost the same. No more searching for an replacement braid for the silkworm this probably is silkworm.

Thanks Pete.
