Used fox reflex camo for my bag work, never had any complaints, find it supple enough and a good knot strength

I have used it with various scissors and it does exactly the same.Its the worst braid I have used for it and it also fades in water and goes a horrible grey colour

Angling Iron Gravit8 is a lead free heavy braid, im really impressed by. Super soft and sinks like a brick.

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.

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 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.
