If you're paying $45 for a spool of braid, either your tackle shop guy is screwing you or you're buying the wrong brands

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Agreed...

I pay $27.95 for 300 yards of 50#PP and I'll get at least 2 seasons from it. Much cheaper than paying $8 four times per year. $30 over 2 seasons or $80-90 over 2 seasons... braid please and thank you.

I know it. Gotta love when the moss green is bleached white from all the sun.
