I kayak fish for Large mouth bass on our local 16acre pond in town. It has some nice 5-7lb 18-22in Large mouth with a lot of 1-2lb 10-12in large mouth. I have to fish braid due to the amount of Lilly pads and grass. Its a lot of top water fishing with frogs and pulling bass out of cabbage once you do catch them. I fish it 3-4 times a week. I found spider wire EZ braid to be a nice line, at $14 for 300 yard spools from walmart. At first the line feels stiff and has some plastic like covering. One you fish with it, the line breaks in and feels more like a normal braid line. Strength is good & once the line is broke in, it fishes just like any other braid. I have found this line easier to get a birds nest out of a bait caster reel. I'm not sure why...it just seems to be.

If a person doesn't use a very sharp cutting utensil to cut the braid, it can cause the woven strands of braid to start separating and unwinding. If it happens just cut up the line a bit higher where the braid is still woven together.

People complaining about the line breaking at the knot when setting the hook.....I don't believe that is the problem. I think the problem is when the line is fresh the plastic type coating on the line makes the braid slick. When you tie a knot...leave a little bit of a tag end so it doesn't pull through. Problem solved.

Overall, this is a decent solid line. Is it better then the higher end braids. No. However, it gets the job done. You get 300yards vs other Brands/braids…
