On my recent trip to Columbia, I spooled my Daiwa 8000H Dogfight with 100 lbs. Diamond hollow core braid. This was my first experience using hollow core. I found it to be much better than solid braid. The main advantages of hollow core is 2 spools can be spliced together using an appropriate size threading needle.
So, no more leftover short spools like when using solid braid. With the use of a threading needle your fluorocarbon or mono leader can run through the hollow core making a knotless connection which produces smoother casts. The diameter of hollow core is generally smaller than solid braid thus allowing for more line capacity. A disadvantage is hollow core costs more, but with the splicing capability it is cheaper in the long run. So, next time your spooling your reel give hollow core a consideration.
