I'm looking for a spomb/deeper pro using line on a spod rod.
I'm looking for 100 yards with ease.
I can hit 120 yards quite easy with 15lb fluro coated line ridgemonkey straight through.

Which braided spomb lines are best for distance casting

Might of been more helpful
If you can reach 120 yards with what your using why not carry on using it
And it's isn't it not ain't it

Calm down darling don't get your knickers in a twist lol cheer up.
I'm looking for a braided mainline to make the job even easier and ofcourse if I do want to try a marker float braid is far superior.
Has anyone used Korda slr ? Good bad ?
Thanks for the replies

Look at the gardner Kinetic Range excellent stuff and cheaper and most likely a better preforming line to Korda.

I wouldn't go any lower than 30lb. Coincidentally I've got 30lb whiplash on and I'm much more confident now casting a deeper out with that as apposed to the crap fox marker braid I had on which snapped like cotton, strangely enough a guy at work had exactly the same experience with Korda marker and spod braid, went up to 30lb whiplash and his problems, like mine went away. Sure, it's anecdotal evidence, all the same.
If you get the chance, Google tackle box line tests, it's a real eye opener when it comes to the stated breaking strain and the actual breaking strains of some of these braids.
A few days back I was hitting 112yds clipped up with my deeper without too much effort if that's any help?
Edited
Just checked the tackle.box review, oops. Turns out that 30lb whiplash breaks at 17.63lb and that fox MKII Spod and Marker 20lb breaks at 15.32lb just ordered up some tf gear Banana braid in 30lb that breaks at 24lb and is lower diameter than the whiplash and the same diameter as the thin fox gear.

I use 50lb whiplash straight through and never had a problem up till now
If going to use SLR, then make sure you have a long shockleader on it as the breaking strain on it is not very high at all. It does actually warn that it is not designed to be used as a day in, day out, spod/marker braid. The normal Korda spod/marker braid is a much better choice unless you need/can cast 150m+. If you are struggling to hit 120m with your existing kit & spomb/marker, then I would look at something else in the equation such as the rod not being up to the job or casting style not right. Might be a better choice to invest in a couple of hours casting tuition with someone like Terry Edmunds or Mark Hutchinson than changing braid.
One thing for sure is I wouldn't want to be casting a £200 Deeper out with SLR braid even with a shockleader as all it takes is a light frap up for that £200 to be sailing to the horizon! Also at those ranges, the Deeper would not have a connection anyway.

Thank you all for the replies.
I'm going to use arma kord 50lb as a shock leader
