OK.
Question time on Braided main lines.
I have been fishing one of my rods on a cheap-ish sinking braid for the last 3 months to see if I can get on with it or not.
Now ALL the waters I fish all allow braided main lines.
So now I have decided to switch all my rods to braided main line.
My Question is. Which is the best sinking braided mainline on the market?
Pro and cons on which one you use.
Thanks.
Karl.

I heard that has a tendency to float up? Think I read a couple of posts on here about it.
There are a few new lines this year, one from Kryston, the new version of the RM one and one from Carp Spirit. Anyone tried them?
I have mostly used the Korda stuff and it's fine.

I also use the 22lb gardner hydro sink and really like it.
You have to keep it wet when casting.
I use it with a tapered nylon leader.

I have been using the Carp Spirit braid which is made by Suffix. Early impressions are good and it's competitively priced too.

I've never understood why Nash stopped doing the original bullet braid, was a brilliant mainline braid
... I'm currently using the new Ridge monkey descend . Casts and sinks really well, no discolouration yet and beds onto the spool better then the others I've tried, only downside is the price but it works well so don't mind paying for it.

Had Hydro Sink on all my reels for the past 2 years. Never had any problems with it - sinks well, casts well, but it looses its colour quite quickly and has a t tendency to fray. I always check and discard, if necessary, the last four or five meters. To be fair, most of the braids I have used have shown these tendencies.
I am going to reload one set with the new Descend 30lb from Kryston.

I use the hydro-sink. I've had it on my spools for 6 years. I've just had to respool, only because I'd lost bits and bobs off each spool... And I needed a full 600m on each spool. I use it with a long leader of 30lb .56 Berkeley Big Game green monofilament (I'm not casting). It's incredible braid. I have to have it sink well, as fishing at longe range on a shallow weedy big pit with a very active sailing club... I'd be in trouble if it did not sink well.

Has anyone tried or seen the avid outline braid, looks good but then they all do sat on a shelf. Any reviews

I'm a fan of Korda Apex, not a sinking braid, but a neutral buoyancy line, perfect for fishing in/over weed.
