Braided cords are a direct alternative to the standard monofilament and are a wreath of several filament fibers in order to increase the overall level of portable load. High-quality braid has no tendency to gradual stretching, and also does not have a "memory effect" that negatively affects the sensory and descent of the cord along the spool reel.
They use braided fishing line mainly in warm seasons, since polymer fibers have the property of insignificant absorption (absorption) of water. If at a positive temperature it dries, then in the cold the micro-destruction of the cord structure occurs, caused by the formation of ice. In this case, there is a probability of braided breakage with minimum loading. However, today this problem was successfully solved thanks to the use of layer processing of threads with protective compounds.
The production of braided cords is the prerogative of many small firms and large corporations that are widely known throughout the market segment of fishing products. Every year, hundreds of new developments are added to the existing samples of the threads, which creates a precedent for the difficulty of choosing even for experienced consumers. Having carefully studied this category of the market and its rich history, we have compiled for you a rating of the best woven wood-producing companies that have been nominated by excellent indicators of the product being produced.
Top 10 best manufacturers of braided woods
10 Cormoran
A country: Poland
Rating (2019): 4.6
Cormoran is a solid brand of fishing gear, which received perhaps the smallest portion of the popularity of all opponents by rating. And, according to consumers, it is not quite reasonable. Albeit a few, but very high-quality lines of braided cords look on the water no worse than conventional Sufix and Sunline.
If we talk about the braid for the feeder, then the Cormoran Corastrong Feeder Braid line will always be a cool option. The model range of this line is characterized by high breaking strength, resistant to abrasion (on stones, shell rock and the sides of the rings), and also keeps knots well. No less cool in the same path manifests itself and the bottom eight-wire cord Corastrong 8-Braid. Noting all of these advantages, he gives a significant increase only in the load capacity, perfectly revealing himself when fishing for large carp.
9 Varivas
A country: Japan
Rating (2019): 4.7
Another Japanese grand production of woven fishing line, using as a base the production capacity of a large international corporation Morris. From the point of view of novelty, Varivas does not bring anything into the segment, however, the braids of this brand are distinguished by consistently high quality and high resistance to wear.
A good example of Varivas fishing cords is the Ajing Master DC-PE series, designed for sea fishing casting. It has extremely low tensile properties and averaged sensitivity, however, it is able to withstand enormous overloads when biting a huge fish (there have been cases of power break of rods without strain of this braid). The direct opposite of it is the Super Slim Area Super Trout Master, designed for ultra light spinning fishing.It is moderately strong, very sensitive and has a high durability.
8 Sunline
A country: Japan
Rating (2019): 4.7
One of the most inexpensive trademarks, whose products are extremely popular among domestic fishermen. All Sunline braids in one way or another combine high quality with great breaking strength, which makes it possible to use them for catching especially large trophy predators.
Under the conditions of the world market, Sunline braids enjoy the fame of a solid "fighter" in the marine environment. For example, the X-Cast line is able to take loads from 5 to 40 kilograms, demonstrating outstanding Japanese quality in all its glory. But perhaps the most important "fighter" of the series is rightly recognized as the Monster Battle PE series. The very name of this braid sounds ominously, and the power characteristics only emphasize superiority over opponents. Due to the small price tags, Sunline is readily swept from store shelves, and manufacturers themselves have noted a significant increase in popularity from year to year.
7 Allvega
A country: Russia
Rating (2019): 4.8
This company appeared on the Russian market after all others (in 2010), having received tremendous support of professional athletes and competent experts of our country. It was impossible to think of a better PR: Allvega braided fishing line began to be bought up by amateurs very quickly.
The main characteristic of the braid of this company, according to reviews, lies in its long service life. Thanks to the patented impregnation technology and its unique composition, even despite the presence of roughness, absolutely all series of cords retain their nominal properties. This also applies to the extremely popular Bullit Braid line, which can be used even at low temperatures, while maintaining its original strength and sensitivity.
Allvega Evergreen series looks no less powerful, but more secondary, the whole feature of which lies in the extreme durability of the main color. It is designed specifically for feeder and deep-sea fishing on fishing spinning, allowing you to precisely control in all phases of fishing.
6 Berkley
A country: USA
Rating (2019): 4.8
The only niche where the American company Berkley was able to fully realize itself was the production of braided woods with high nominal quality and durability. As in the case of opponents, they are based on the material Dyneema - high-strength wear-resistant fiber of high sensitivity, giving the fishing line a good informative.
Among the entire range of wickers from Berkley, the consumer can find an option for any occasion. So, the Black Velvet line has the properties of long-distance casting due to the sliding silicone coating. Cord easily overcomes the ring, having a low coefficient of resistance. The complete opposite of her is the Whiplash Crystal series, used only in warm seasons. It does not have an external coating, giving high strength combined with pristine elasticity. It is very good to use when fishing on the feeder, but no less cool it behaves when jigging and twitching on spinning.
5 Power phantom
A country: Germany
Rating (2019): 4.8
German manufacturer of premium braided cords, which fell into the rating due to sharpening to maximize the parameters of breaking load. And these are not empty words: Power Phantom is acquired by the majority of domestic anglers when catching trophy fish. Without changing the use of the usual fibers Dyneema SK65, the company squeezes the maximum potential, directing it to the right direction.
So, the most prominent representatives of the company were the Spyder PE, Raptor PE (especially strong) and Synapse PE series (featuring sensor sensor wonders). Each of them is soft, allows you to knit strong knots, as well as to briefly carry over loads. The only nuance that can keep the user from buying is the high cost. However, due to the durability of the purchase will be very profitable.
4 Salmo
A country: Japan
Rating (2019): 4.9
The world-famous supplier of fishing goods in the person of Salmo is considered to be one of the strongest producers of braided woods. Having obtained the rights to use polymer fibers Dyneema SK65, Spectra and Gore-Tech, they managed to create a diverse collection of cords, suitable for absolutely any fishing conditions.
One of the most striking examples of the use of Dyneema threads was the Elite Braid series. Correctly using the material properties, Salmo recreated an example of braid that combines high strength with excellent slip, wear resistance (from UV rays and rough surfaces), as well as a good sense of bait. The Feeder series, developed specifically for the feeder on decent depths, has a slightly different set of characteristics. It is bright, which makes it easier to control the water, sensitive (despite the large cross-section) and treated with special impregnation, which gives it sinking properties.
3 Duel / Yo-Zuri
A country: Japan
Rating (2019): 4.9
The leading Japanese manufacturer of goods for fishing, whose products have traditionally high Japanese quality and almost the lowest price in the entire segment. According to the canons of consumer opinion, the fusion of these advantages and causes a wave of enormous popularity of braided Yo-Zuri / Duel wood.
As a material of manufacture, this company most often uses Ultra PE polymer fibers with good working performance. Thus, Super X-Wire PE braid (made from the above-indicated yarns) is widely used in conditions of negative temperatures (detrimental to most cords) and, thanks to the wear-resistant coating, feels great in the spud and on the rocky bottom. Another representative of the company, Hardcore X4 PE, has a perfectly smooth cross section, which is why it is often used for long-distance casts to catch holes and dumps in search of a large, hidden predator.
2 Sufix
A country: Finland (produced in Japan, Taiwan)
Rating (2019): 4.9
Behind the eminent Sufix trademark is the equally famous company Rapala, familiar to anglers from a series of magnificent lures and lures for any kind of fishing. However, braided fishing lines are also not inferior in quality to their “brothers in the segment”. Their main advantage, judging by the consumer reviews, is the highest reliability, which indicates the advanced production conditions and the integrity of the Finnish company.
Gore and Dyneema fibers are used as the main production material for Sufix braids, their excellent characteristics are high wear resistance and sensitivity, respectively. One of the most well-known products of the brand are the fishing cords of the Matrix Pro series (powerful, for catching mostly large predators) and 832 Braid (premium braid, which has tremendous breaking load and high sensitivity).
1 Power pro
A country: USA
Rating (2019): 4.9
An eminent American manufacturer that uses special fibers of the Spectra Fiber brand as a material for braiding. Thin and at the same time durable, these threads are capable of withstanding up to 40-50 kg of load, being in a plexus of 8 pieces each (typically up to 0.43 mm variation of the Moss Green braid).
Woven by the company's unique Enhanced Body technology, Power Pro cords are notable for their excellent smoothness and associated wear resistance. They perfectly go off the spool reel spool, provoking the most distant casts and excellent responsiveness at all stages of fishing.
As another unique option, you can highlight the Hunter Multicolor series, designed for fishing at a decent depth. These braids are distinguished by a large variety of colors, which greatly simplifies the control of the bait at depth.The purchase price of such options varies greatly depending on the thickness of the section and the length of the unwinding. However, this is typical for all Power Pro fishing products.
