i find that the coating on the strip tease is too supple?
if i want to use a coated braid i want it stiff so id use hybrid, if i wanted a supple braid id use sink link, strip tease is some where between the two!!!
Leadcore is no more expensive than rig tubing!
ESP leadcore £12.95 for for 25 meters and ESP rig tube/ancher rig £1.80 for two meters.
Leadcore 52p per meter
Rig tube 90p per meter
Rig tubing is more expensive leadcore all the way
3 inches you may as well have it all stripped!
The carp will be laughing at you!
You really aint got a clue have you mate. Why not strip it back 3 inches it will give you a bit more movement at the hookbait which can help the hook turn better. If you are using pop ups you can strip it back 1,2 or 3 inches and have your counterbalance weight on the spot its stripped back to. I use fox cortex alot with 12/15 inch hooklengths stripped back anything up to 4 inches and I catch plenty of good fish. As for the carp laughing at jake I bet they aint laughing as much as I was when yet again on here I read another stupid childish remark.
???????????????????????????????????
As far as i know the older version of hybrid was witrhdrawn from sale. And a newer version brought out. So how old was your spool?
Anyway hybrid is the best braid available never ever had any problems with it. Infact i landed two 20's on it in the last 24hours!
