An 8-strand braid
From the very first moment you pick it up, the results are unanimous. This eight-strand braid is round, supple and quiet when cast. Its suppleness is an essential asset for successful knot tying with the fluorocarbon .
The Prodigy X8 Braid is made from dynema and its blue is simply stunning.
During the test phases, this braid didn't fade with each outing. Its resistance to abrasion is impressive and ensures peace of mind for seaside anglers who are familiar with this phenomenon of rubbing against rocks.
Diameter and actual resistance
The choice of braids is not lacking on the market. The angler always tries to find the product offering the finest diameter with the highest resistance. The downside of this is that some of the values indicated on the spools are not real, but theoretical.
The Prodigy X8 Braid has undergone extensive strength and diameter testing. As a result, the values shown are actual values obtained during the course of tests carried out by the Rodhouse.
This will make it easier for you to choose fluorocarbon which, it should be remembered, will be of lower strength than the braid in order to allow breakage at the lure and not at the connecting knot in the event of a hook.
The Prodigy X8 range Braid
This new range is available in two lengths ( 150 m and 300 m) as well as five diameters and strengths. This variety offers something for almost every angler.
For the moment, the range does not include braid models designed for strong fishing. The highest resistance is 28 lbs . On the other hand, it will delight freshwater and sea anglers on the French coast.
Staples Rodbuiler's Republic
Another new product is a range of staples Rodbuilders ' Republic . It comes in 3 sizes ranging from 18 to 45 pounds.
What's impressive at first glance is the size of the advertised resistance. As with braids, this resistance is real and not theoretical.
Its rounded shape, which differs somewhat from traditional staples, gives the lure greater freedom during animation. Even the most sceptical angler, afraid of restricting the lure's swimming action, will find a product that meets their expectations.
