I'm thinking of adding braid to my spare spools for water's that allow braid

Who's used braid alongside Delkims?

Did it cause any issues or cuts into the alarms?

Please help 😂😂

That's handy to know!

I would expect something if fishing locked up ect constantly but don't see that as a need generally

Hopefully a few more will commment

If you're locked up with braid I'd say your rod would be in before the alarm had any damage!

25 years using different braids from Outcast to Power pro and various models of Delkim and never had any such problems.

I have seen braid cut into the original txi I have not seen any issues with new style Delkim but I don't use braid as much now as waters don't allow it.

Been using 40 and 50 lb PP with my TXis for over 5 years.
Don't lock up really tight, but no problems at all.
