Korda Hybrid stiff and Fox Camotex stiff are the two stiffest coated materials Ive found. Both, once steamed will hold up the end two inchs and a boilie.

Ridge Monkey do a very stiff coated braid... Not seen anything like this before. Try it.

It's for a 'type' of combi, yes. There's no point me going into detail of why I want it, tbh, I've worked that bit out (I think)... New difficult low stock venue with some 'specific' issues.

BTW, I've just seen ESP now do an x-stiff version of the tungsten loaded... Mine is the original one which isn't stiff enough... Anyone tried that?

It's that specific reason I was asking about. Not recommending something else, just curios because I've never understood the need for stiff braid, unless it's for a combi rig.
Or is it on a need to know basis...

Thanks Ian, good idea, but that won't work with what I have in mind, needs to be the stiff outer, braid inner, traditional type of material.

Noj, with respect... My question relates to coated braid, not nylon. There is a specific reason why I am after a certain product, that I am not going to go into here as there is no need to.

Why not just use nylon?
