The avid stuff is pretty good.
I use this for long range over 110 yards.
Use the Gardner hydro sink for under 110 yards

both do.
I've found them to be neutral bouyancy & in most conditions stay sunk to wherever you sink them to. I have found that in warm water & when there are algae blooms, bubbles & particle can attach to the braid to pop it up.
I use medium sized bobbins on semi tight lines with no issues but could see really slack lines being a PITA

Ah thanks, I hear it sinks but pretty slowly, sounds like an open water kind of braid

I did try it on a reel as a lot of people really rate it.
I personally found that it didn't stand up to snags / weed as well as PP & it lost its dye a lot quicker than I expected. May have been where I was fishing at the time but it didn't give me as much confidence.

Thanks, did you ever try the suffix 832?

I have tried all sorts over the last decade & I am of the opinion there isn't a perfect braid.
the closest I have got is Powerpro in 30lb (moss green) - it's neutral buoyancy & it will stay sunk once you submerge it but it won't sink.
the price isn't too bad (I load up from 150yd spools), it's hard-wearing, abrasion resistance against weed is good (rocks & mussels, not so good), decent diameter, doesn't fade, knots well & is very strong.

I have found the Avid sinking braid be the best all rounder

This much I have gathered, I’m just wondering which one was the best, from what I can make out the best casting ones aren’t much heavy than neutral buoyancy. Most floating braids have a density of 0.9 ish I think. Alot of the ones we are sold as sinking are grossly underestimated regarding diameter measurements. I’m just trying to find the best that’s available really- suffix 131 is an option from what I can tell but one wind knot and you’re 80 quid down! Anyone tried the pb or suffix 832?

Sinking braids generally aren’t great for casting.

Thanks, I ended up trying the naturals one in the meantime, it’s not great, sinks really slowly and doesn’t cast well at all. I’ll look into the original submerge

Fox Submerge - excellent on the cast, very thin and sinks well. Best all round sinking braid I've ever used.

Hi, just after some feedback about what the best sinking braid is for long range casting, I’ve heard the fox naturals is good for actual measured diameter (not package stated) vs actual breaking strain. I’ve tried the avid and it doesn’t cast too well. Any help would be great
