I've got Kast King on 4 spod/marker reels, 2 x 40lb and 2 x 20lb. I've used various braids before and this is as good as the Korda stuff IMO. 500m costs about £10 from ebay. Think it comes from Hong Kong, but mine always arrived within 2 weeks.

And comes in a nice range of colours.

The cheap stuff is fine I’ve used it for years. Green spectra in 30lb with a 45lb quicksilver shockleader.

I’ve just cheap because the braid I’ve been using for the last 6yrs was cheap and has served it’s purpose!

Not sure why you say cheap - since braid lasts some time, you may as well get something decent. What ever the label on the spool, they're all made my the same very small number of manufacturers anyway. Makes me laugh when I see tackle companies claims that they 'designed' their lines... anyway...

50lb Powerpro in yellow is what I use for spodding and marker. Have been using Powerpro since the mid 90's, best there is.

What breaking strain do you use and is it straight through or with a leader?

If you're getting Kast King check the diameter before you do. I ended up with some tow rope... going back to PowerPro which is super thin and super strong.

My Kast King will be great for Pike fishing but not great for spodding

Get on eBay and look for dyneema spectra. I use it in 40lb straight through.

After a recommendation for some cheap spod braid please. I always just use it straight through without issue.
