Bought some Duel Hardcore X4 Braid 20lb.
First impressions thin enough feels and looks exact same as Berkley Whiplash Pro.
Used it yesderday and not that impressed. Got numerous wind nots and one mighty one that resulted in a ring wrap loosing a 25 euro lure!
On the same reel I am usiing 16lb YGK GSoul X8 Baid with no issues at all.
So it is not the reel or spool overfill. I always leave about a mil from end of spool to stop wind knots.
The Duel Hardcroe braid only cost 24 euro for 150m the YGK GSoul X8 55 euro for 200m so far superiror braid.
Summary I thinlk it is best to invest in a more expensive Braid if you are going to end up loosing expensive lures on cheaper braids.
The YGK GSoul X8 s best one I have used. Not like normal braid. It has a feel like dental floss.
Casts light lures like a bullet!
