Mack Toon and I were discussing the new Berkley Forward braid during a round table.

A lot of what I do is testing gear. Long story short, while the “Forward” model of the Berkley braid absolutely casts further than Daiwa J-Braid or PowerPro x8 with less effort… it has just too many weird negatives to continue to use after a month of thorough testing 5+ days a week. I’m restringing my spinners right now.

Save your money. I can’t recommend it in good conscience.
