braided line choice

[corncob]

I've been doing a bit of research comparing various braided line....The more I look the more differing views....Leaders seem to be Power Pro Slick , 832 , Samurai , and Sufix with many others competing....Also it appears that more problems develop with lines 20lb test and smaller...What is your choice no matter the cost?

I haven't tried em all so I can't say it's the best, but PowerPro is just a great product. It's all I use anymore for braid.

I use 50lb power pro on my Heavy rods. Im not a huge fan of Spiderwire but alot of people like it. I just spooled up a rod with 35lb powerpro (same as cabela's ripcord si +) I havent used it yet but Im excited about it

I've been using sufix,and happened to watch a tv show with them comparing 4 different braids, so got me to thinking about different brands. Power Pro Super Slick was their top choice with Spiderwire 2nd.I have Samurai braid on one rod and like it, but, pricey.

I use suffix 832 and power pro...both great lines

My brother tried Power Pro Slick last year and my brother went through about a dozen jigs in a weekend because roughly 75% of the pike that struck made a clean cut of the line. He doesn't have nearly that problem with Suffix 832. I like the 832 but I'm also really fond of Stren's Sonic braid. The 14lb sonic braid is perfect for spinning reels. It also holds color really well, much better than 832 does. Spiderwire Ultracast Invisibraid is also a really nice braid. Contrary to what it's name implies, that line has great visibility for detecting strikes.

I reread my original post and it didn't make sense. I meant to say I just spooled up a rod with 35# TUFLINE Classic.

i use 30lb braid since i use 1 baitcaster its perfect for all lures i toss from senkos to frogs. I only used 2 braided brands powerpro and spider wire. spider wire is garbage my powerpro keeps its color does not fray out the weaves on tag ends spider for me has lost color quickly frays on tag ends plus abraision resistance is terrible. I almost lost a jig when I hit a small backlash and line snapped lost half of my remaining line. Later started seeing the line has been slowly fraying apart, after use the line just drys and seems like the drying line itself weakens the line. I hate spider! back to powerpro

I use to use Power Pro, which is no doubt a good line, but switched to Sufix Performance & 832 , personal preference. On a baitcaster, don't bother with anything under 30 lb test.

Sufix if I have the $. 2nd choice is power pro.
