sunline almight?

[Jason Penn]

anyone tried the sunline almight yet? i have a spool on it's way, but it may be a few weeks before it gets here

Running the #0.6 on a reel and it’s been great so far. I had run the Defier D braid sinking before and I prefer the Almight. I wouldn’t say the sinking characteristic is night and day different between the two (even though I feel like I should notice it more) but the Almight has better color, casts further/better, and less fuzz development in the length of use I’ve had now.

that's the same size i've got coming. luckily tracking is showing to be here monday

thanks

Are you running it on spinning gear?

Of course.

i got the line in monday, got it put on a reel yesterday, and got to fish today. i'm pretty pleased with it, other than i wish it was more hi-viz. i got the pink, but it's pretty dark.

it seemed to sink much better than the ygk oh dragon i tried a couple of years ago. i can't remember what size i got in the ygk, but a heavier size may sink better in it.

i was very surprised at how quiet it was for a 4+ whatever the core is. i have x9 on a couple of other reels, and the almight wasn't much louder.

Good to know. I've been running YGK for a couple years and it sinks dreadfully slow.

Is this going to be released stateside as a replacement for the D-braid, or be a strictly JDM offering? I picked up some D-braid a couple months ago to use on my Certate/Steez "The One" combo and have been loving it. Wanted to pick some more up for a couple other spinning reels and found out it's been discontinued.
If it's not coming stateside I'll be putting an order in at Digitaka for sure.

Good to know...

I have some SS112 in 16 & 20 because the body and form really behaves well on a threadline...this said, to me it's not a "sinking braid", although it will eventually sink. I was told it just provides better feedback with light plastics and neds when there is a bow in the line versus a standard PE without the Esther core.

There are a lot of SS112 fans on TT, I never fell in love with it. I personally do not think SS112 is a sensitive braid relative to other options head to head. Between SS112, Oh Dragon, Dbraid, and Almight…. I definitely prefer fishing the Almight and I usually fish the #0.6 size.
