Last year I bought five Heritage Laker traps and stained them and varnished them up real nice. I had one set up with 65 pound power pro braid for a mainline. I took the line off of one of my surf fishing reels as I didn't like it. Works great on the tip up. Pricey though for lining up 4 more traps. Anyone have any ideas for a cheaper braid alternative....looking to stay with the same type diameter as 65lb powerpro. I see big reels of braid for like 20 bucks on ebay but they are chinese and suspect, to me. I have been using the traditional tip up dacron and while I don't mind it I really like the braided line. I feel there are several advantages og braid over dacron. Any ideas?
