I've used Manster braid for a few years now, used to be called Monster.
I use it in 40lb straight through for spodding up to and over 100m.
I also use it in 25lb as a mainline braid with a fluoro leader for distance fishing.
It's a good as, if not better than power pro.

Been using spectra braid for over 20 years on all my pike rods .

Know a lot of people who use it for sea fishing. All rave about it. Can't see why it wouldn't be up to job for sodding.

Yeah, that’s the stuff. It’s less than a third of the cost of the Daiwa equivalent but have subsequently read a few reviews to say it’s nothing like the stated BS, but then I don’t necessarily thing J-braid is either!

I can’t comment on that specific brand but I’ve used other cheap Chinese braids in spod rod for years and never had an issue.
I believe a lot of it is the same spectra braid either different labels.

Hi
I normally use J-braid for my spod but on the spur of the moment, bought some Manster W8 in 27lb off Aliexpress. It’s obviously a lot cheaper but I’m now doubting my decision and wonder if I should have stuck with Daiwa.
Just wondered if anybody has any thoughts on Manster ? I normally use a MIDI spod to about 25 wraps.
Cheers
