Sinking braids are thick and heavy and tend to be .35 and above so they won’t be the best and cutting through weed.
Sinking line I personally like hydro sink noir. But around weed isn’t the best option as it will want to sink between beds and into it. Be better off with a heavy mono or a neutral buoyancy braid.
Unless your fishing close in and upto weed beds

Hi all, resurrecting a historic thread for an update. What are people’s recommended sinking mainline braid, for example casting up to 100yds and good at cutting through weed if necessary.
Pros and cons please? Thanks

Power pro in .41 (65lb) or .43 (80lb)
Shimano advise using your usual mono diameter, which would be .40ish in heavy weed

I use gardner hydrosink in 22lb which is a sinking braid, I wouldn't t recommend this as it sinks really well and likely to cause you some grief with the gravel and Swan mussels aswell as burying into the weed..ive been caught out by Swan muscles and braid and it snapped very easily.

I wouldn’t say there are lots of them but they are there but the weed is extreme and the owner of the lake said he’d prefer us to use braid due to the weed situation

braid wouldn't be my first choice for Swan mussels,gravel bars etc,you put braid under pressure and it snaps like cotton on anything sharp

What’s everyone’s go to braid for weedy lakes that also have snails mussels and gravel bars/plateaus? Also what diameter would everyone recommend?
