That stuff'll saw thru rocks 
The problem is, it'll turn your thumb to hamburger if you try it on a non-levelwind conventional. |

I put that stuff on 2 Shimano 400s last year. Best braided line I ever used. I still hold with Ande Back Country for my spinning reels though. |

So who wants to do the test ? Tomorrow's TFCTFN entertainment, braid mono toe clipper abrasion test...
Seriously - this does look worthy of a repeat and as said - some controls would be nice. How would one measure than apply consistant pressure time in and again? |

I looked at it... Not too good for spinners or so all the reports have said. |

What is this cortland master braid? Is it similar to spectron? I just got myself a spool of spectron for my 7000cl that I use in the canal. I have a long running battle with an abutment that kicks my axx. I think it was saltheart that said the spectron is rather abrasion resistant for braid. I don't think I can go back to mono for that kind of jigging, but I don't know what I'll do if it keeps happening to me  . |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Master Braid is basically the same as Spectron--maybe a tad rounder. Same diameter, same rough finish. It comes in both ice blue and yellow instead of green and "salt & pepper" like Spectron.
John--I'm thinking to control tension, you could hang what's left on a filler spool off a fly tying bobbin, hold the other end and work it over a blade. Lots of people probably have a few yards left over on a 300 yard spool after filling a reel. |

you could get a scale and measure the tension and just keep it constant for each test.
