Can anyone recommend a good supple braid for pva and mesh bag work.
Bought the ntrap soft but it's still stiff even when the coating is stripped.
Ideally something that sinks well if there is such a thing as a heavy supple uncoated braid

Korda Supernatural and for a heavy sinking braid Korda dark matter. Merlin if you can still get it. You'll find a number of soft uncoated braids from all big names. These are the ones I'm happy with.

Nash Armourlink, it is quite thick so you may struggle to knotless knot it with smaller hooks but it works a treat.

ESP Anchor Braid for me

I have been trying to use Kordas dark mater offering, and whilst it is undoubtedly heavy it is a pain to re-thread through small hook eye when using a knotless knot, it just bunches up.
Going to give the esp anchor braid a whirl.

probably more to do with your scissors than the braid. A nice clean cut and a drop of spit on the end and it should thread fine.

I have the gardner scissors and they are excellent. Do not use them on anything but braid. Use other scissors for other materials and keep your braid scissors razor sharp.
