Thread: Varivas AREA Super Trout INFINITY PE x8 Braid TEST Report

How much will i lose by buying the heavier spool. The reason i ask the smallest diameter scares me.

I'm using the 7.5# test Infinity PE for casting. The 5.6# will cast a 1/32oz jig farther than and line you will ever find with that pound / test rating but it is a little lite for my use also. This is a casting line not vertical jigging. The PowerPro Super 8 Slick V2 line is what I use for vertical jigging. I purchased my Varivas line directly from the manufacturer. They have a website for retail sales. A Surgeon's Knot is to be used to attach a leader of monofilament to the end of the Infinity PE line. I have found 6# test works just fine with the 7.5# Infinity PE Braid for a leader. Some form of leader should be used, when I was tying directly to the hook a broke off several fish setting the hook. The Double Uni Knot was the only one that worked for me and that was only sometimes. Let me know if I clarified your question, thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I tecently tried braid again. I absolutely hated braid in the past. But i was needing to jig some ruff stuff. I bought what I find locally which was PowerPro v2. Slick 8 which i know is better was not available. I was using 15/4. I was tying direct and I think i lost a few fish but it was definitely worth to be able to pull the jig loose when needed.

I recently started playing with LS and it was amazing to see the angle of the fall.

Great report. At your suggestion I tried this line and as your report states it is so far above the others it is CRAZY!! It is so soft and strong. Hard to tie but cast a mile.

BON TEMPS!!
