I'm looking at braided mainlines I've been using mono for ever but my fishing has taken me in a completely different direction over the last few years and I'm finding I'm fishing at More extreme distances and in snag and obstacle infested waters so I'm looking at the switch up I need a low diameter strong reliable braid that doesn't cost the earth (asking very little of you guys😂😂 not so bothered on the casting side of its performance as the majority of the fishing will be done by boat I'm also not bothered if it's a carp brand I'm well aware there's as good if not better products available from different sectors of the sport recommendations below thanks.

Spiderwire 8 strand? 19.99 for 300m at a lot of places.
Really good braid even though the diameter ratings are a bit suspect.
0.25mm for 60lb test if I remember right.

Have to agree with above, suffix 832 ticks all the boxes for me

Depends if you want a sinking braid tbh , if your not bothered then 40lb power pro is superb , or Gardner hydro sink 22lb which is the best braid I've ever used for carping .
I put a link up for Pizza on here a while back for bulk spools of power pro going cheap

Seriously glad I went with the 22lb gardner hydro sink now over the 15lb.. cast 35.5 wraps easily.. got the 40lb fox submerge on the 3rd rod that casts just as well.. I was thinking I would only just be getting over 100yrds .. happy customer here
