Kevin I hate critising brands, because i do not like to offend people, but Climax braid would not get my money.  As fot the thickness, a 0.35mm braid is used for Jigging, or if you are lucky enough Spinning in the tropics.  Get yourself a decent 35lb braid if you really want to err on the stronger side and you'll be a happy chap Smiley

best around are berkely fireline, spectra power pro and a lot of positives from friends of mine for xzoga braid. I haven't tested the latter but for fireline and spectra i vouch they are very good braids, especially fireline although its price is not exactly the bright side...

I've used powerpro and it's a very good braid, BUT an experienced angler told me that the cheapest ones at ebay may do the trick for less money... so i've just ordered a 300m 0.14 braid which can land a 4.5kg fish.

When selecting what braid one should use, there are a lot of factos that need to be taken into consideration:

1. What fish is being targeted?
2. Braid breaking line strenght
3. Abrasion Resistance
4. Smoothness on rod guides...this has a lot to do with braid construction technologies....pe fibres used, 4 strand? 8 strand?
5. line diameter....and consider what Fluorocarbon to use according to the diameter, and the knot to tie braid to FC. Apart from that, this has a lot of advantages...the less the diameter, the better the castability, finesse, you will manage to work the lures better cause of better blend with tides and current,  cuts through the wind better, etc. 


In my opinion, one should take careful consideration of all of the above before selecting the brand to use.....

Thanks
