Ebay Braid
 
Anyone know how legit the braid sold on ebay from the chinese fishing company is?

Most items have tons of bids and the sellers gave goid feedback. Any Chinese braid success in here?

The prices are great by the way!

All of the braid that is on every single one of my reels was purchased on eBay, it was all shipped by US based vendors. I haven't had a problem with any of it and to be quite honest with you, one of my reels has braid that was purchased on eBay well over 5years ago.

Some Is decent and some is junk...just depends on what the seller has. As for me I'll pay the extra few bucks for piece of mind...if you do buy on eBay my advice is to test it first! Good luck

I have a spool of izorline braid that wasn't too expensive. I have no complaints so far.

Really, to spend all that time and money on equipment etc. to slouch on the braid? Only to hook the fish of the season and watch it swim away? Not worth the little $$$ saved or lost.
Consider buying a name brand for a piece of mind!

I bought some that was shipped from china. Picked up a 75lb ray, 2 30inch striperes and quite a few red drum. Lasted 2 seasons. Braid was moss green and turned lime green but didnt seem to effect it much.

I remember watching a youtube video of a guy testing the chinese stuff, and he showed it be noticeably inferior. But it's cheaper so I guess you get what you pay for.
