Hi All

After replacing my braid on my reels for my Spod and marker any recommendations? Preferably a braid that doesn't require splashing with water all the time

Thanks

All braid needs wetting really.
Daiwa j braid is decent and not too pricey

I use the 0.16 20lb which is exactly the same as the Korda one, stick a 50lb whiplash (or whatever) leader on and your good to go

I must be the only one who struggled with whiplash - windknots mostly . I put it down to me . I wet it regularly but still had problems . I got on so much better with TFG banana braid which is slightly thicker and I found more manageable. The added bonus it being yellow which I found quite handy .

Currently using PowerPro on my setup. Used it for years on my pike lure and bait rods so have a lot of confidence in it. No problem so far while spodding.
