Re: Varivas or ygk
YGK upgrade x8 is my favorite.
Seaguar Smackdown, Pline TCB8, PP SS V2 and Sufix 131/832 are all decent braids IMO.
I have only tried Varivas high grade x4 and it was a very nice line, I want to try more but its hard to obtain.

Re: Varivas or ygk
There is some pretty high end "spinning" lines such as Infinity but, mostly geared toward trout anglers. VARIVAS 8 is like the 4 but, 8 strand so it will feel smoother and handle nice on spinning reels. High Grade 8x is another good option too.BRONZEBACK32 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 11:14 amWhat Varivas do you recommend for spinning reels?Hobie-Wan Kenobi wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 4:23 amI use VARIVAS.

Monster PE is awesome
Re: Varivas or ygk
Varivas Max Power x8 is not nearly as nice as YGK x8 Upgrade - the coating is gone within a few dozen casts and then it behaves like J braid. I have 1 year old YGK that is still tight and "waterproof" compared to the Varivas after 2 trips.
I'll try out some of the other Varivas lines at some point but Max Power is mediocre at best.
