Jisher, you should note that the above pro braid posts did not include one mention of the additional cost. I think that is because the perfomance more than offsets the cost, at least for the surfcasting I use it for.

One thing to figure out is how much you want or can put on your spool. I often see it in the 150 yd spools, but search for the 300. I personally hate when the knot to the backing is brought into play with the braid coming off the spool or laying back down. Could be my knot, but would rather that knot be buried at the bitter end, ie. as much braid as possible, as little backing as possible. For my set up, I need to buy 300 yd pack to do that. I should just buy the bulk spool as Bill and Juls told me they do. Only makes sense when you are sold on the weight and manufacturer, which I am.
