Only if your reel has a good line lay and can avoid wind knots.Does it cast any better..?
Line lay is critical, if your reels are not up to it stick to mono.Couldn't get on with it on my beachcasting F/S reels, but the same braid now works fine on my lure reels.
Could be to do with line lay on the old reel. Did consider trying 60lb braid straight through on my Surfblaster II LC - have now got a spare spool but not bought any Braid yet.

I made the mistake once of putying some on an Abu Cardinal I had, it just wasn't up to the job and wind knotted about every second cast.
I had only used it in shimano reels up to that point.
I can't believe it doesn't all come out the same factory.I think it was the Vertix Dragon reel that I had terrible wind knot problems with, in a moment of madness I bought it to match my Vertix conti rod. Wasn't a cheap reel, but the bail arm roller failed, so no longer in use.
It was Kastking braid, and it's been fine on my Shimano 3000 & 4000 reels.
Yep. Vertix Dragon went wrong after about half a dozen trips out, and since Grauvell went bust, no spares available.I can't believe it doesn't all come out the same factory.
The shimmies made the difference.
Just found an Ugly Stik in the garage, little use and not been used for donkey's. Pretty good nick apart from the rings which have some sort of blue "mould" coating. Tried to get the stuff off with washing liquid and the wife's toothbrush but not making much progress. Would bleach do the trick? Cheers.
