Marker rod braid.

[finchey]

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. 👍

I see nothing see no reason to not use  it on a marker , although never used it .

These guys do good braid for cheap(ish):

I use their gear for spod and marker work.

Not tried the really cheap Chinese stuff.

Did you ever use this Finchey? 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.

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

It's probably the least stealthy colour you can find, I think it must be a sickness but I really wanted yellow braid 🙄

I got some 30lb braid (Yellow) 🙄🙄🙄 last year off flea bay from China...... it’s been sound....... so far. I got it from a link on here got 100m of 10lb (again yellow)🙄🙄 for my drop shotting and again had no problems with it. 😬😎

  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  🙄

It's also the most visible to see. If you can see were I'm coming from. 👍 

I am quite drunk at the moment so if I'm not making sense ignore me. 😂😂😂😂

Reckon i could pull a car out the lake with this 35lb braid

I also have 30lb YELLOW banana braid loaded on mine...but only used once since ive bought it...thinking of parting with my spod setup (Daiwa G50 Spod rod & Sonik Vader X Spod Reel) as im mainly a bag/pva ball man myself...

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

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.
