Home Forums Fishing Saltwater What’s your go to braid

I’ve been buying bulk spectra online. It’s WAY cheaper and seems just as good. I spooled a couple of electric Downriggers with 1000’ of 200# Spectra each and I still have 1000’ left on the spool. I think 1000 yards was $50 and I don’t notice a difference between the other Downrigger braids.

I use bulk Spectra on my Downrigger reels as well….I think I’m using 60# braid on those reels. I love braid for Downrigger fishing. I can load up the Lamiglass 9’6” glass rod in the rigger and when it trips the hook is set since there’s virtually no stretch.
