I think Gardner are being a bit cheeky though giving us the correct breaking strain for diameter on their hydro sink. I am sure it won’t catch on.

in snag and obstacle infested waters braid is completely useless in snags its got zero abrasion resistance it just needs to touch a rock or shell and its gone so you will have to use a strong mono leader if your boating it out I would go for min 30lb with a min 25lb leader

Sounds just like mono then being rebranded by other manufacturers.

Powerpro - best braid on the market. I've used it for 20 years and continue to use it. I buy it by diameter, not breaking strain. But be warned, you should not use braid when carp fishing amongst snags! It is not very abrasion resistant and despite the higher breaking strains and lower diameters, it will end in tears. Stick to mono if there's snags or heavy weed or use a suitable leader with the braided mainline.

BTW chaps, there are only a handful of worldwide manufacturers who make braided fibres used to construct fishing lines - quite a few tackle companies are selling you the same lines, but branded differently and with some very colourful claims on its properties I might add.

Seriously glad I went with the 22lb gardner hydro sink now over the 15lb.. cast 35.5 wraps easily.. got the 40lb fox submerge on the 3rd rod that casts just as well.. I was thinking I would only just be getting over 100yrds .. happy customer here

Depends if you want a sinking braid tbh , if your not bothered then 40lb power pro is superb , or Gardner hydro sink 22lb which is the best braid I’ve ever used for carping .
I put a link up for Pizza on here a while back for bulk spools of power pro going cheap

Have to agree with above, suffix 832 ticks all the boxes for me
