XPS. I like it. Smother than 832 and thinner. Mitch f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the USA, that didn't occur until after WW2 when Brown went to France and brought the reel back to the US. I would imagine braid was common on bait cast reels before spinning reels were common.

I know how to use them but a bait caster works better for me. Been fishing a bait caster since I was 7 or so. Didn’t get a spinning reel until I was 13 or 14.

Didn’t get a spinning reel until I was 13 or 14. That's a long time to live without catching a crappie or a bluegill. Or throwing a Rapala Minnow, Roostertail or Mepps spinner. Surely you aren't gonna tell me you prefer a Zebco 33 to a spinning reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjm Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Silk, polyester, nylon, Dacron, Spectra , Dyneema are all braids that were used in the 20th century, and as far as I know still are. When you say "nothing like the new braids" what braids are you talking about? are they made of one or more of these fibers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
