Cheap Braid Line - Braided line from China, Ebay, DHGate

[MichaelAngelo]

Fishfight gave me a heads up about cheap braided line available from DHGate.

By cheap, I mean $6 for 100m, $20 for 500m. Wow!



Some discussions on other forums:

Doesn't seem too bad, right?

Well, purchased a 100m 8lb spool from this seller:

Seems to have a big selection from 4 strand up to 8 strand braid.

I tested it out on some big fish and behold, the line holds up well. It's super strong! The knots hold... can't complain. It seems to work!

What I am concerned about is the cost of my line guides. If it does wear through my guides, it would be cheaper in the long run to buy brand-name braid of course!

Honestly, I'm not sure how the texture of this cheap line (4 or 8 strand) compares to modern-day Suffix and Power Pro braids.

Next time I'm fishing with a buddy using braid, we will compare the textures.
