Today's new braids are more abrasion resistant than first generation braids like Power Pro, Rip Cord, Spiderwire and Whiplash. Cortland Miracle Braid is amazingly tough. We tested it at the TFCTFN. That and Berkely Big Game tested out highest for abrasion resistance.

Take the old Cortland Spectron, make it rounder, and add a smoother finish to make it more thumb friendly, and you have Miracle Braid.

I fish 50# for jigging in the Canal, but 30# should be strong enough for most any other application. The plug guys run 30 on their Emblem Pros and love it. Nelson Field at Red Top highly recommends it, and Red Top sells almost every braid out there.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
