Hi,
The spod braid and shock leader come from china. Probably from the same factory as many other brands use. I think you will probably find that 99.9% of the tackle you sit behind on the bank is made in china.
The braid mainline is manufactured in Germany by a very well established manufacturer.
Both braids are of the highest quality and perform as well if not better than some of the bigger brands. They just don't have the price tag.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mate,
Our Spod braid is a totally different product to the Braid mainline. The spod braid is designed to float by nature and is made from PE braid. I wouldn't use it as a mainline either.
Our braid mainline is Made From PE and PTFE fibres and is designed to sink and also be used as a mainline.
You will find most if not all the Spod braids on the market are " Generic Chinese Braids".
Cheers,
Mark

Hi,
You need to look at what you want from a braid mainline as different types will suit different situations.
Our braid mainline is constructed from a combination of PE and PTFE sinking fibres which make it very dense but also very thin and strong with zero stretch.
Not only does the PTFE content help the braid sink, It also adds lubrication which helps the line slide through the rod rings easier when casting.
There are many other braids on the market that sink like a brick but are very thick and do not cast as well. We wanted a low diameter braid that was great for casting but also had good sinking properties. To achieve this we ended up with a 0.26mm braid in 25lb with medium to fast sinking properties. A great all round braid for any situation.
This braid will sink and hug the bottom very well, but it is not as fast and heavy as the 0.40mm braids. This slower sinking property aids itself better when fishing at range were bite indication is paramount.
The high abrasion resistance is perfect for fishing tight against snags or densely weedy waters but also suits long range fishing where the low diameter can get those precious extra yards on the cast.

Mark
