Braid line for Bream

[oz_guy]

Hi folks,

Just wondering what is everyone using when targetting Bream, i am thinking of using Braided line 8 LB Test @ 1lb Mono Diameter.

Cheers

which line is that? sounds thin
personally i would go with a 4lb braid for bream, ive never had any bream break 4lb braid so i think its overkill to use heavier
cheers

Power Pro Line.

power pro is one of the best braids very good in all areas definetly worth the price

I've used 8lb Matrix Pro and only recently started having problems. As for it being overkill, i disagree, just fish it like 4lb if you want to, then you have a bit of extra turning power for things like sambos and stuff if you go offshore. next time (or maybe the time after that) I'm going for 6lb coz i think it's a good balance between breaming specific and light inshore work.
No worries using 8lb! especially if it's a good one like Power Pro (not so much Matrox Pro)

4lb Nitlon PE braid is what I use on all of my Bream reels now, it's great!

It's not too thin though, the 4lb is the same dia as 4lb mono.

HTH, Nugget.

4 lb Nitlon is WAAAAYY thinner than 4 lb mono mate. I like the Nitlon as well, and currently have 6 lb and 8 lb spooled up. I also have a spool of 10lb FINS.

4LB to 6LB Fireline with 4-5-6LB siglon leader.
Works for me

6lb Nitlon for me as well, found it to be excellent line

TD Tournament Orange Braid in 6lb rating. Great line with only one (not so bad) wind knot after about 5 sessions. Managed to untangle it after about 2 minutes of fiddling Was on the flats so it took a little longer than normal. Still a great line with nice diameter, great knot strength and very limp
