Summary
In this episode, the Salt Strong crew breaks down the best braided fishing lines based on tests they have been doing.
We discuss fishing line breaking strength (knots), casting distance, wind knots, and more.
Some of the main brands we discuss are PowerPro, Daiwa J-braid, Fins, Beyond Braid, Sufix, and Spiderwire.
If you've ever dealt with wind knots, knots that slip, or just a bad batch of braided line then you don't want to miss this episode.
Tight lines!
