Not sure it helps but I recently bought a pink braid on ebay.
The brand is Kastking, it is Chinese I believe. Still have to test it.

Let me know how it performs. I'm going to be punching with it.

These cheap Chinese eBay braids are surprisingly good
I have had no issues with them
Being a 4 carrier braid they are however noisy,color options are great if you are into that type of thing :lol:

For ccass :

It will be my pleasure, but the predators fishing season is now closed for 4 months in France. So no feedback before May.

The only thing I can tell you about this Chinese braid is that the diameter is clearly bigger than the equivalent in resistance (65 lbs) from powerpro ou suffix. I have also read that the color pass very fast. Honestly I don t expect too much from this braid, just wanted to try because it is low cost.

I know quite a few people that have spooled up with pink braid for things cancer awareness. A friend of mine has done several tournaments with that kastking pink and she really likes it. I went with the moss green color, but I agree that I haven't had any problems with it. It performs well and is lower cost. I'm not sure if the company makes it specifically for things cancer awareness, but I think it's cool it's available.

I'll try it out. Only if it comes in bigger diameters though.

Also, do you have a problem with the line digging into itself on the spool of a baitcaster?

"Bionic braid" is pink and widely used in Australia by Barra fisherman. Comes in a range of spool and line sizes.

I like Gliss. I have it on my "finesse" BFS setup. I do have a spool of 40lb as well but I think Gliss will get tore up too quickly. It's a nice line but it doesn't like to touch anything besides a leader line or water. It isn't very abrasion resistant at all.
