Getting started

[knock down]

Any thoughts on Daiwa Boat Braided line(Dendoh)? I have a Saltist 40 with a upgraded Carbontex drag , I also am having JPR custom rods build a Jigging rod for me as well. I am just getting started in jigging and I have alot of questionsI am considering useing the Daiwa Boat Braid(PE60). Does anyone out there have any likes or dislikes about this Braid?I am mainly interested in Yellowfin tuna , but wouldn't mind the possibility of a BFT within reason.

i have heard alot of guys using the diawia braid.
only heard a few complaints.
but i think you will some find bad info about everything.
the price is fairly cheap.

we usually use 80# when jigging.

Thanks for the reply Paul.Even though it is by no means is a $$$$ exspensive outfit , it isn't a Cheap one either. I just want everything to be strong. I hope the only weak link in this outfit will be from Angler error

I used PE6 Daiwa braid all summer with no problems. I just put Daiwa PE8 on my Expedition, only because it is capable of something like 60lbs of drag. Since I will probably try to find out if that is true I went ahead with the heavier line, since DBB doesn't have the strength they advertise, but still very good line that I would buy again. Samuri is the same, but not color marked, so it is not as stiff.

That Expedition will handle PE8 all day long tuna after tuna. I love that reel. Have many many 80-100lb tuna on that reel and fished 30lb drag on alot of ocasions. I did have to replace the drag washers after 1 season. Simple to do, went with dry carbotex washers.

I went ahead and gave them some grease and will change them once I have abused them a little also.

Honestly, i just use Jerry Brown marked every 20 ft. or so with a laundry pen. Haven't bought into that fancy schmancy colored line yet.
