Floating braid for drifter fishing

[Alan Palmer]

Anyone recommend a good braid for drifter fishing for pike? Been using Fox driftmaster for years but it’s now discontinued and I need to replace what’s on my reels

My go to pike braid is berkley whiplash in 80lb. Power pro is another I use aswell which is equally as brilliant.
For me personally the whiplash edges it slightly on one factor and that is I get less wear on stop knots with this braid. A well tied knot lasts all season.

Either of the above as Richard has mentioned, I like the yellow whiplash for drifter fishing, easier to see/mend the line when your at range.

Just don’t pay any attention to Berkeley’s stated diameters as they are way out.
