I have seen the Braided line for sale on Temu , but because it was so cheap i was skeptical of it. Has anyone else tried it?
Yeah, but only for the JOF Brand that I have tried. I'm going back to Wish.com for the stuff now.
They have a much better support and less ripoffs than Temu, I don't care how much the Super Bowl adds said. LOL
Temu now wants you to buy at least $10 worth before an order closes.

Power Pro. Use it spinning and bait casters. Great cast ability
So do I Billy Bob.
Then again I usually do things differently.
Bad habit of why won't this work 🤣

My preference is Jerry Brown hollow core.
I use that on all my gear except my slow pitch set ups as that requires a PO3 line which I can get from Nomad or Straight from Japan. No knots to hang on guides I use a bobbin to do my PO3 connections to my fluorocarbon leader, if in need of stretch like on my Wahoo set up I will use 100lb mono then 50’ Fluorocarbon leader.
No failure and always over test in strength.
Good luck many great comments on this subject.

I'm a suffix 832 guy. all my rods both fresh and salt. 4# for trout to 20# for stripers. 30#for Billfish.
Suffix for me to from 20 to 65 pound. I have tried the small Suffix and it seems to be as good as the heavier stuff, but my old man vision and it do not get along. Note: I have been casting in the yard nearly every time I go outside sense November. It's good I live in the country or my rod would be long gone leaning next to the door). At any rate, I have spent a lot of time playing with spool tightener and magnetic drag. I have come to realize just one or two clicks can make a major difference, but not as much as using my wrist to generate the power. I cast for about a week with my elbow belted to my body. I now cast about 1/3 further with the same rig and line. I also get much further and more accurate flipping and pitching results.

I used Spyder wire when it first came out, or when I first heard good things about it. I have since moved to 'Power Pro'. For my ultralight (6#) I use the 'Calumus, Bastion'. It is the thinnest line I have found, at only .004" thick. It has a drawback.....trying to tie something you can barly see with these tired old eyes.

I use the power pro super slick in moonshine color it’s hard to find but can see it great and tie a mono leader on it it’ll cast a mile

Have been using Spider-wire for many years, but I'm not happy with it casting range. Any suggestions on what might be a better choice for 8 to 10 pound braid for my spinning reels?
Most people like power pro, I’ve used it once and it’s good, but I like yo zuri super braid and suffix 832

I have some PE X8 from Temu 30lb red,
Good stuff, used it on a couple of my reels last year and the color hasn’t even faded, and it seems stronger than it says

So how often do you guys change your braided line 🤔
I'll get 2 seasons out of braid. I tip with Fluro leaders changed at least yearly or when they get cut too short.

Thanks Doug, I've heard about pulling the line off the reel and turning it around and putting it back on. I personally just started using braid last year. I still use mono on some reels

I like Power Pro in 20# test, not because I need the strength, but I get a lot of wind knots in the lighter stuff.

Whitey I'm of course the odd ball 🤣
If I don't see the line fraying I don't change it.
I only fish freshwater n I'm cheap 👍
If it fades I do use a Sharpe on it at times
