I have to agree with the earlier posts, fireline is a good cheaper braid for lighter stuff. Have always used it on my whiting gear, and never had much trouble with knots. It does fade and look a bit ratty after a while, but is good value! I think the old man uses heaver pound fireline on his snapper rod and is pretty happy with it as well. I have just bought 6lb spiderwire braid that is brilliant, and casts a mile. Can`t remember exactly what its called, will have to try and find the box!!!
