So many online at different prices with different names and all probably made from the same Chinese factory, can anyone recommend a decent cheap bulk spool for fishing large, snaggy pits ?

This is what I use on both my marker & spod reel & would have no hesitation using it as a mainline. A fraction of the price of the carp branded braids

It casts well, no problems at all. I fish it straight through on my marker set up but use a 50lb braid shock leader for my spod set up

Its easy to do a search on Ebay but you're better off trying to find the tried and tested braid as alot of the cheap braid is weak or like tow rope.

Agreed most I've had is way above stated diameter, spectra? Ok for Spod and marker work..Am also interested in this kastking mainly due to the price and probably only needing it for a couple of weeks usage a year abroad.
Anyone else have any feedback on using this a mainline?

Daiwa j braid x8 was on eBay for £79.99 for a 1500m spool. Anyone used this?

I must have been really lucky as I have had neither problem and on my third spool in about 20 years, so have several friends who have bought it.
I expect all the branded names have their own factory producing braid exclusively for them
