I love how you support and rock Cortland MasterBraid. Cortland is close to my hometown and I agreee their raid is sooo superior and so much strong than other top names on the market.. us in the north are in the Cortland train. I try to get as many people as I can to make the switch. Their 20 lb braid just got me thru a week of frogging becuase I was too cheap to go out n get new 45lb braid. Luckily the 20 on gold series was strong enough to saw thru 5flkt long lad stems and hydrilla to land me about 12 3+pounders, a few 4+’s and a 5.15 OB for the year , no friggen problem. The only time i retied is when my scumfrog got so torn up I needed to tie on a new one. Paired w a 7’6 heavy Abu vengeance, i was pulling fish out of the thickest vegetation with confidence on 20lb braid. I also have that same braid in 15ln on all of my spinning rods and my connection knots stay stronger longer. I love Cortland gold series - I’m partial to white and bronze
