never ever had a problem with kastking braid. Used 30lb bs for last year with no probs for long range piking, spod work etc. Just bought 3 x 500m spools for £24 delivered in 40lb for heavy catfish work on a weedy water this summer.

it is more of a flat braid, that floats initially but after use, it sinks slowly if you tighten up with the rod tip under water. As said before, it's stood up to a lot of abuse from me, and I originally just bought a spool for spodding but soon realised its potential as a braided main line.

I used to use whiplash but then I found a tough durable one made by PB products .
I found it a lot more hard wearing .
Takes a bit of time to sink but never had any trouble .
That is until braid was banned 😔

Is Ridge monkey braid expensive?
Is there a good braid that's not necessarily a well known brand that is good for my Spod reel?

The ridge monkey stuff is gash. They had a load of issues and despite trying to bull**** their way our of it had to fully refund a lot of people including a couple of mates of mine.
Their QC is virtually non existent - they buy stuff from china with their name slapped on it and pump it out to customers in the UK at inflated prices.
Look at the debacle with the death trap stoves they released
I wouldn't touch anything they sell with a barge pole.
