Depends how much you wanna

Depends how much you wanna spend but personally I only use the best - Varivas. It's the main thing that connects you to that fish of a lifetime and you don't want to lose it because of shitty braid. Expensive braid in my experience lasts way longer.

Definately a different finish compared to the Tuffline i had before. Alot more silky smooth but seems a bit thicker than the 50lb Tuffline equivlent.

TD sensor

I like it, but have only used it in the smaller poundage.

 

Maybe a few others to look at would be Sunline PE and Frog braid - both very nice.

Sunline Super PE & Frog, online prices might be a little off as the online shop is being comissioned and isn;t actually trading yet.

I'm currently using TD Sensor in 15 30 and 50lb and a mate is running it 15lb and 4lb . Cant fault it the sunline looks and feels the same except is green. Have a look at Bionic as well I have just brought some to try, but have heard nothing but positive reports.
