Korda Hybrid stiff and Fox Camotex stiff are the two stiffest coated materials Ive found. Both, once steamed will hold up the end two inchs and a boilie.

You won't anything as stiff as the ridge monkey stuff, stiffer than bristle filament, inner braid isn't that supple but when rubbed between forefinger and nail a few times it loosens up,

Thanks for everyone's input. Really useful.
I've ordered a spool of the Ridge monkey stuff to start with, that does seem to have the properties I'm after.

You can take Rigmorole Hydrolink, remove the center fluro section and replace it with stiff link if that might give the presentation you want.

Ive used the esp x stiff version i think its not quite as stiff as the korda hybrid stiff so if that isn;t stiff enough for what you want then the esp wont be

Nope. The Skinless looks a better option for my needs.
My standard go-to braid is the PB Jellywire, so I'd have confidence in their others.

Skinless is pretty stiff. I can post you a bit to have a look if you want, save buying a whole spool

Tried the x-stiff in 20lb but not impressed with its stiffness, best I've tried in the past was 45lb Quiksilver which was surprisingly thin diameter as well.
Interested to hear about the Ridgemonkey outcome 👍
