Round vs Flat braid list

Post by LFish99 » Wed Aug 28, 2019 5:57 pm

Does anyone know which braids are more round than others? Was using Cabela Ripcord SI and seemed a bit flat. Had used stren super braid and cajun braid and those seemed rounder. Anyone tried any cheapy amazon lines and know which ones are rounder?

Typically, the more carriers a line has, the more round it will be. Typically those lines will also be more expensive. Roundness, of course, is not the only benefit of pricier lines, though, and having more carriers isn't always better for every situation. For instance, a lot of anglers, myself included, prefer four carrier lines for frogging and pitching in dense vegetation because it saws through it better and we don't spend an arm and a leg on it, either.
This is the way.

Typically most four carrier braids will flatten out easy. Braids will flatten out due to compression and also pull tension.
slip bobbing is the laziest way to fish
