Braided Line! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ewhitney60 · 04-09-2016, 09:08 AM

I Just bought the SG Truth. Looking to load it up with some braided line. However, I have never gotten in to the Good's/Bad's of the braided line Brands.

What are some of the highest quality or some of your favorites for the SG if you have one or a reel similar to size?
Also, How about the colors of Braid? What is the process of choosing the color minus visibility?

Thanks!

I run 65# on 75% of my reals and 50# on the bait casters. I buy green power pro most of the time.

I use 20lb green Power Pro for Newport, Huntington, Alamitos and Mission Bays, 40lb for San Diego Bay and 65lb for open water. Seems to work best for the type of fishing that I do. Used the 65lb for the Mothership trip last year on the Islander and was very glad that I did. There are some big calicos and yellowtail out there.

White izorline. Its way easier to see if you go out on a boat or are fishing at dusk/dawn.
