finchey Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Has anyone used the cheaper braid of the bay, I would never use it for fishing but I was thinking of using on my marker rod, any thoughts or advice welcome. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayvid Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I see nothing see no reason to not use it on a marker , although never used it . finchey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 These guys do good braid for cheap(ish): https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/cvtackleltd I use their gear for spod and marker work. Not tried the really cheap Chinese stuff. finchey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering the same and I need to change my braid as it's old I did get some of the cheaper braid but for the life of me I can’t remember which one. i’m still on my hols in Cyprus for another week so when I get home I will check which one I bought because it’s good stuff stuff. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I think I've found some spider braid, from memory this was recommended to me years ago and I think the braid I've had on my marker reel since might try this funky yellow one finchey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I decided on 35lb for my 3 in 1 multifunction spod/marker/weed rake rod, should be tough enough for all disciplines 😀 4th function accidental tree surgery 🙄 yonny and finchey 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Gave it a good work out tonight handled marker work ,weed clearance ,and spombing and did it all quite nicely too, I guess the main limitation will be needing to cast further with 35lb, but I got it as far I will need so all in all quite happy so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't stop a spod rod set up being useful. I sometimes use my spod rod for casting out large PVA bags of bait. Instead of spod, put on a lead and a spinlink or Solar did PVA bag link clip, and attach PVA bag or mesh, cast and allow to dissolve. Reel in, properly dry, fresh bag on, and go for it. finchey and ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
