pe dyneema braid fishing line is it cheap crap.

Been looking at pe dyneema spectra braid on ebay. Just wondering if anyone on here is using it and if its any good or is it just cheap chinese crap. $47 for 1000m of 30lb seems too cheap to be any good.Cheers

That is the first even half

That is the first even half decent feedback I have ever seen for it, if you're not benchmarking your lines and knot strength, I'd give it a miss!

No disrespect mate but you

No disrespect mate but you answered your own question in the OP.

 

If it seems too good to be true, too cheap to be any good, then it probably is.

Good luck to the guys that are running it, you have more balls than me. I am using the Daiwa Saltiga Boat Braid, and it hasn't let me down yet.

Shoot Till a pm for cheap advice on this braid.

He mate I've bee using the 10

He mate I've bee using the 10 & 15lb and I would not use it again, knot strengh seems ok however I've had major drama's with wind knots whilst casting.

The wind knots seem to have settled now I've used it a fair bit, I think it was due to stiffness of the line initially.

Can't bag it toataly as I caught my first dollie on the 15lb but seriously spend the money on something proven.

I am going to try tasline next which shows some good test figures and is good value!

Rid

Sun, 2012-03-11 19:48

Bought heaps of it and got rid of the lot of it because when you bury the hooks in to what feels like a good fish and have it break about 2 metres from the rod tip on numerous occasions. Didn't matter if it was 30---50--or 80lb , all snapped while sinking the hooks, some near the top or half way down.

The old saying  "what you pay is what you get!!
