Guest Anonymous Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 the only problem i find with braid is the tangles, but they can solved nearly all the time, i have never used coated braids but i have heard lots of good things about them, braid is also better for the presentation of your baits due to its subtleness Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 been using normal braid for yrs just changed to korda iq its the real thing lays perfect on the bottom no more tangles just loads of money £13.95 for 20mtrs Quote
beanz Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 im using both at the same time i think simonwwfc is as well ???? hybrid is both IQ is just fluorocarbon but for some reason korda have hybrid plastered on loads of stuff Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 yes its the korda flurocarbon coated braid weedy green stuff Quote
dave909uk Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 this is what i used last weekend and blanked all day. how much stripped braid do you leave above the hook? what hooklength have you found to be most succesful Quote
purkis Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 i have used snake-bite for five years and it is the ultimate hooklink. it has amazing abrasion resistance due to the outer coating. the coating can be peeled back for versatility and for use with pop ups. it is excellent for snag fishing. makes a great stiff rig. why everyone doesnt use this hooklink material i have no idea.

dave909uk Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 isnt it the same thing as hybrid? and all the coated braids? whats the difference? How do you use your snakebite then mate?? Quote
neilscatchin Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Colour variations between inner braid and outer core mainly etc.Hybrid has a fluorocarbon coating where as Snakebite has a brown/gold outer coating I think.Super Mantis is nearly identical to Snakebite apart from it's diameter in that it's a lot thinner. I use Camo skin as well,the only difference between Camo and Heavy skin is that the inner braid in Heavy skin is white as opposed to the green braid which matches the coating on the Camo skin. There's numereous differences in coated braids and a lot is down to personal preference but they nearly all perform the same. Dave,all decent coated braids come with rig/use suggestions inside with diagrams. Quote
paul_oggy Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Check out Rig Morale Scorpion, it's a flourocarbon coated with braid;) Quote
rfarnan Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 Morning Lads, Purkis, how you doing? Snake-Bite the ultimate!! ?? Sorry mate, but it's like old rope, the new generation of hooklinks Stealth etc are far thinner, have more knot strength and abrasion resistance and are better coloured - not all shiny like the bite! Yes the Scorpion is a bit different - I had this hooklink idea manufactured 3+ years ago, but decided NOT to market it, that may have been a mistake! Ronnie Buss has / had all of the samples as he loved it. Just wait though until you see the new hooklinks that I've got coming out towards the end of the year (theres a sneak preview in this weeks Anglers Mail) it's taking hooklinks to the next level - again!

paul_oggy Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 Yeah, Stealth is excellent. I only us two braids, Supa Nova and Stealth Skin, i think they are probably two of the best on the market. Have'nt used the Scorpion yet, giving it a go this weekend. Also have'nt used the new Hybrid, think i'll be giving that ago in the future months:D Quote
maxwell999 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Posted August 1, 2005 I use super mantis and silkworm if i need a very fine presentation. i tend to only use fluro when fishing in weed Quote
beanz Posted August 1, 2005 Report Posted August 1, 2005 fluorocarbon ....... i find it snaps to easily when playing a fish in weed or near snags hybrid is the best iv used yet, just dont beleive the breaking stains 20lb snaps at 16lb Quote
