Re: Spiderwire Ultracast Ultimate Braid

For 6 years i was fishing with SPIDERWIRE ULTRACAST 6 lb.,10 lb.green and yellow on spinning reel and i can say is very good braid.
I don't fish with braid over 10 lb.,and ULTRACAST 10 lb. is tinnier comparative with SUFIX 832,POWER PRO SLICK for the same lb. test.

Love 832 after about 2 days on the water. Spiderwire Ultracast Ultimate braid is one of the best feeling b...
