Good evening, any of you that have experience with this product confirm if it is a tight woven or a hollow braid? Thanks in advance

It is not hollow but an elasticated braid with PVA threads running through it which need to be soaked before casting out to engage the stretchy nature of the product. It is easier to work with dry hence why this has been done.

Thank you both for your answers I didn't want to spend the money and it not be what I want, but ideally I needed it to be hollow, so it won't be any good for what I was after. Again thanks.

What rigs are you using it with? I have a spool from years ago that's seen the light of day a couple of times but never had any luck with it.

I use it as a combi link and its caught me loads of fish also my pb of 51lb 4oz on it.
a very under used material, I think people are put off by the thickness but I have never had a problem with that, I think the fact that is springy and make it really hard for the fish to deal with makes up for the thickness.

I really rate it as a hook link. It can be a bit of a pain to thread through the eye of the hook due it it's thickness so a needle threader is useful, also you will need to use another material for the hair.
It is quite a light color so I use a felt tip of mud on it to darken it up as I fish quite clear waters.

running it over some tungsten putty works a treat as well.

Seeing it has PVA for the stretch does that mean it's a one cast product?

no think of it like this.
when its dry its not elastic.
once its wet it contracts and can be stretched.
obviously it doesn't go back to its original form when dry.

If you want a hollow braid then you haveFox CamoSplice or one of the lighter strength leadless leaders. Some people find they struggle to splice the thinner hollow braids but I use the Fox Easy Splice "needle".

So it's elastic property's only last for one cast. Then it's just a normal braided hook link?

nope not true it always got its elastic properties
and IMHO can really help to hook a fish I been using it for years as a combi rig luckily not many people use it so its more effective as the fish are not used to seeing it and its a definite edge

Cheers for all the rig tips. I used to rub mine in mud as it is grey and white, if Nash still make it is it still that same colour?
