I bought 150m of braid today at Go Outdoors store for £9.99. Just using it for lure fishing from the rocks or pier. Most of the braids in my local fishing store are £30 to £40 for same amount. That’s why I mostly use mono for lure fishing as it is so much cheaper. Hopefully I put the braid on correctly, will soon find out and I shall check out some of the braids you recommended here.

Hi Billy, I have had some awesome tackle from Ali express. The FTK line is great, I have various braking strains and use as leader to braid on my lure rods. Also other bargains include lure boxes, Kingdom lures, Supercontinent soft plastics, weighted lure hooks, lure clips, couple of really nice rods and reels. All are excellent quality and just as good if not better than I would pay three times the price for in the UK. There is some junk on there but if you know what to look for you can save a fortune.

Cheers mate I'll be straight onto Ali looking at the braid you recommend, I use the Kastking mono and their Super Power braid, the mono is fine but does kink a bit when you knot it and the braid I only use it in low braking strains for freshwater spinning etc. I bought a 100m spool of JOF braid ages ago to do some tests on it but never got round to doing any but I'll have another look at it, I must admit I've rooted the JOF braid out and it does look pretty good! 😉👍

Red is the first colour to disappear in the water column so orange should be good.

It only disappears in depths over 200 meters! It is not an issue for most sure angling, or boat angling.

[@vinceveloce9897]

@@Billyfishing_watch Sorry mate but you're wrong. Red is the first colour to disappear in water because it has the lowest energy and is absorbed quickly by water molecules: Red: Disappears at less than 15 feet Orange: Disappears at around 25 feet Yellow: Disappears at 35-45 feet Green: Disappears at 65-75 feet Blue: Absorbed at around 200 feet. But don't trust me check for yourself.

I suppose it depends on where you look for your information,I can see the information that you were writing appears to be right. My purpose is not to be argumentative.

So, Billy, I would really like to see a "nerdy" video of 4 strand v 8 strand braid. I have use 4 strand braid for a few years and, meh, abrasion resistance is non existent, so a long mono leader is needed.But does 8 strand work better than 4 strand?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Oh that's an easy one! 8 strands is much worse than four strand for abrasion. But as far as leaders go. I just use 100 to 150 lb 4 strand bread, and make my rigs a little bit longer. And I never have any problems, no matter where I fish. 👌

[@brightlife5820]

Hey Billy, thanks for this info. I mainly fish in fresh waters but just got into shore fishing, i use 0,25mm braid but casting distance is not the best. Perhaps the braid rating is overkill? Do you use 0,16mm on most of your surfrods? I will try the jof, thanks for the video! My fishing rod is 1/2-4oz 8’ combining it with shimano twinpower SW.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi. Mostly when I'm fishing surf gear, I use multipliers! They work a lot differently than a fixed spool. So the line diameter can be greater! I use 0.35. your diameter sounds okay! It could be your casting style, or what kind of leader you are using. Do you use mono filament?

[@brightlife5820]

@@Billyfishing_watch Sounds great, i have to put more practise into the casting. I use fluorocarbon as leader.

[@gp4103]

I have two of the measures from Ali. Great and clear and to scale BUT, the end connected to your clip is rhe end that is 0. So you have to unravel the whole length to measure. Bit annoying in wind on a rock or pier. Would have been better to unravel starting at zero so you could keep the unused section folded up.

Good tips, Billy! Interesting that you have good experiences with such an extremely cheap braided line... I always go for the expensive brands that I know I can trust. Also, KastKing is made in China and has always been very cheap so I can't imagine the product being a counterfit, and they have good products! Also, what camera(s) are you using?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Peter. As far as fishing line goes, the truth is a lot of name brands are just produced in factories in China, and then they stick the brand name labels on them! The cheap line I get! The only difference is, it does not have the coating to keep the color on it! Other than that I have absolutely no issues with it, very cheap and it has never let me down. The cameras are obsolete gopros. Honestly I wouldn't be making videos or fishing the way I do without the Chinese platforms. I don't know anybody who could afford it. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@PeterSL10]

@@Billyfishing_watch Some brands are better than others, but a lot of the more affordable products from well known brands are often more or less generic products made for many different brands. I won't name any brand names, but some of them are creating new technology and gear, and some are copycats... Also, I'm pretty sure some of the AliExpress stuff are made in the same factories as some of the more expensive things we get here in Europe.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

@PeterSL10 that's pretty much it, for me the jump and price just isn't worth it. I can catch exactly the same fish, on cheaper line. I have 12 reels and I need to keep them all full for the season. And at mainstream prices, I wouldn't be making videos!

[@maketzu5966]

From visible light, red light is refracted away in the shallowest water because it has the least energy. So your red/orange leader line is almost invisible to the fish in really deep water? Line color not important anyway but it's interesting to think about.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

These colors only disappear at depths exceeding than 200 meters. So it's not really an issue! Honestly the fish don't seem to care. Thanks Brother 👌

[@keithbrowning1677]

hi billy.Would the 8 strand braid jof be as thin as expensive braid ,And would it cast as good for spinning.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

It depends on the brand, but generally yes! I don't use inferior products 😁👌

[@BlackMambaKO]

Not really. I bought pe1 and it is thicker than jbraid pe1. And you can visually see it is a lot thicker. And because it is thicker, it absorbs more water and creates more drag. I think chinese braid is good if you don't mind thickness. If you want thin braid then buy original. I use jbraid as i need to cast as far as possible with least drag in water. As i use 20-40g jigs. Or jerkbaits. For bottom fishing and heavy jigs thicker braid is ok.
