Can anyone recommend a braid which l could use straight through, it's only for close in work with a marker float and the odd time with a mini spomb when l can't reach with the catapult with smaller bits and bobs. Many thanks

I use Gardner kinetic 35lb on my 10ft spod rod for very similar circumstances. Find it ideal.
