Spectra Extreme Braid Update

My spool of 30lb braid got its first run out on the beach at Sandsend last night. I tried a couple of speculative casts without any bait to ensure no wind knots occurred and the leader knot travelled smoothly through the rod rings before baiting up and trying my first cast in anger. I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly the braid peeled off the spool and cast. I'd love to say that the new braid allow me to cast much further but I'm still having trouble getting past the 90yd mark.
