I had been in search of a braided fishing line with a outer surface to be smooth. At K & J Tackle in Jamestown, NC not far from the house ai found just that braid and at a very economical price. While there I also purchased a spool of K-9 Fluorocarbon line. Prior to the K- 9 braid line I had always found Power Pro 30#, Thank you Steve Dyer, to be my go to braid for throwing blades, whopper ploppers, jigs with a 25 " fluoro leader. Only drawback I had with Power Pro was for me it was noisy coming back on the reel. This K-9 braid had a smooth finish to the line and with reeling back on the reels there was no noisy sound. I'm sold! Thing is I only found this brand of fluoro and braid at K& J Tackle in Jamestown.
