Korda hybrid stiff?. Can be crimped aswell if that’s your thing.

Thanks fivenil. I don't think that one is stiff enough tbh.

It's for a 'type' of combi, yes. There's no point me going into detail of why I want it, tbh, I've worked that bit out (I think)... New difficult low stock venue with some 'specific' issues.

BTW, I've just seen ESP now do an x-stiff version of the tungsten loaded... Mine is the original one which isn't stiff enough... Anyone tried that?

It’s that specific reason I was asking about. Not recommending something else, just curios because I’ve never understood the need for stiff braid, unless it’s for a combi rig.
Or is it on a need to know basis...

Thanks Ian, good idea, but that won't work with what I have in mind, needs to be the stiff outer, braid inner, traditional type of material.

Noj, with respect... My question relates to coated braid, not nylon. There is a specific reason why I am after a certain product, that I am not going to go into here as there is no need to.

Why not just use nylon?

There's the rigmarole stuff with the flouro inner which is very stiff, hydrolink iirc

Chaps, what are your opinions on the very stiffest Coated Braid?
I'm after something that is as 'stiff link' as possible. I'm not overly concerned with ability to be stripped at all.
Ones I have used/can be ruled out are:
Atomic and PB Jellywire
ESP Tungsten loaded
JRC Connection
Kryston Mantis.

The only thing I have lurking that may be suitable is an old spool (at least 15 years old) of Sufix Stiff Silt in 25lb black. Stiff but very thick and a bit awkward to use.

I'm looking for something in at least 25lb due to the specific lake environment.
Ta!
