JB Line one hollow braid

On The Edge · 07-21-2009, 05:21 PM

Has anyone noticed a difference in the 130 JB blue braid from say the white. It seems to be harder getting a needle in it and is not as smooth. The weave does not seem to relax like the white. Is it me? Is there something different i should be doing.. Is it just the nature of the dyed blue spectra and it is what it is..

I found everything you said to be true.

I was hoping the blue worked, because the white stands out like a beacon for jigging windons. When I make a windon with the white, i have to color it with a black sharpie to tone it down a little.

White JB rules.

So it is not just me, it is stiffer and more difficult to work with. Well now i know i am not crazy

Not liking it at all. I just put it on 5 50VSW so i will deal with it for now but future purchases will be white..

To add color , they add wax .The wax makes it harder to splice and the weave will not relax as much
