Power pro super slick braid

Hi, anyone know where i can get some of this preferably in moss green and in 30lb bs ? Seems very scarce atm, cheerd
 
I’ve used plenty of different braids over the past twenty years and the one I’m using now is spiderwire smooth, I’m swapping over to it on my barbel rods, the dia is thin but I’ve found the knot strength is brilliant
 
Might have a look at Sufix 832 braid, seems to have good reviews from some carp forums
I use Sufix 832 for long range feeder fishing although I don't do much of that anymore. I also use it quite a lot lure fishing in the sea. It pulls big wrasse out of kelp beds and seems very reliable, nice and soft and easy to fish with. I would recommend it.
 
I get mine on ebay. SS 8 in brown.

I was worried as from Singapore BUT 4 days later arrived. Used same company twice. And not counterfeit.
No problem

Just checked. Loads on there from Singapore.
 
I've used regular PowerPro and Slick 8 in the past, but now mostly use Spectra Extreme Braid. There's loads of "Spectra" braid with the same/similar name, but I'm more than happy with the one below. It's the same (quoted, and found to be accurate enough) strength vs. diameter as Slick 8, but about 1/5th of the price (£9/500m)
