Hi guys, i have a problem with nash braid, is it normal that it keeps break so easy ?
I've lost 3 spombs and one rocket on this "spod braid".

Is it something wrong with me or with it ?
You don't need almost any strength to break it.

Link to movie where i test "break strength"

Wow that doesn't look right, give Nashy a ring and send them your video so they can see it for themselves

Looks like it's breaking way to easy that mate, no wonder you been losing spods.

As said looks very weak.
Might also be worth getting a figure for its breaking point before you contact them.
If you don't want to jolt your scales perhaps a carrier bag of tins. Looks like you won't need many.

I would say the same thing
Get a breaking weight using your scales with a straight pull
If you are going braid straight through to the spod use a shock leader
I used to use 8lb mono with a leader and never lost or snapped anything
It's only because I now use the same rod for marker or spod I have gone to braid

Nash will send another one but im changing it anyway to Gardner kinetic distance braid + kinetic shock leader, joined with mahin knot and at the end biminis twist - sounds good i think.

Thanks for all the answers.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
