Trouble is that not all Braid is created equally. Aside from the number of strands, it would seem from the online feedback that a lot of this Chinese braid isn't up to par with its rated strength.

Do a quick good search for Chinese braid....there must be some semi decent stuff on the market though its a question of finding the right supplier

Am gonna try some of this http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPER-JIGGING-500M-20LB-C-SPECTRA-TOURNAMENT-DYNEEMA-FISHING-BRAID-LINE-/251124850110?pt=AU_Sport_Fishing_Tackle&hash=item3a78351dbe

It's cheap, but make sure you contact seller first for the shipping charges as none are listed!!

Then will be curious to test the breaking strength, should be alot eaisier to measure 20lbs stuff and will give us a good idea of the quality. Will probably take like 3 weeks to arrive though!
