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

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.
Sounds good, like the idea of the yellow braid….is this the one you mention @Joe Winstanley ?
