Large spools of Light Braid

Could anyone enlighten me with a few brands that sell larger spools (300 yard+) of 4lb Braid, so far I can only find 300yard spools of Fireline, most other braids I've seen only come in 150 yard spools.

Yeah I have 4 reels all with spare spools so it was the cheapest way to respool.

Leaning toward other braids now but @ $65 a spool who can afford the good stuff

Thats it Daniel it is reliable as long as you look after it while your using it to avoid wind knots and loops. I think it's most popular because it's the easiest to buy - even BigW stock it. The new DohDohDoh store in Midland has very few braids but stocks fireline of course.

Can't complain it's been pretty good to me over a long period

Yeah it's huge - they have lots of stuff - worth a look. Like a giant lolly shop

In saying that I still use the online shop when I can. For things not available I'll go down to DohDohDoh especially for boating and camping gear. Have a range of PFD's lining an entire wall - from babies to adults.

Cheers
