I have had my braid on for about a year an a half and it still looks bright and tight, so I'll probably hold out until it really shows its age. <br /><br />Thanks for keeping such a great blog, I very much enjoy it.Zachary Parke Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691251829244334879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11417764.post-324363564120464452010-12-30T09:57:05.273-05:002010-12-30T09:57:05.273-05:00Thanks for your response.

The sensitivity of braided just can't be beat and you can count on it not breaking off - even if you aren't catching records. Braided also seems practically invisible in the water.<br /><br />But that strength can be a real drag when you are snagged on an oyster bed - lots of unnecessary spooling.
