TacklemanTybs Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 i always use suffix 832 braid now, i used to use the suffix performance braid. It hasnt failed me yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmasturgeon Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Braided lines are great until it gets buried or pinch in the spool. I do like Power Pro no less than 65lbs. Try Sunline FX2 hands down my Fav. -Jun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Styk Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 i always use suffix 832 braid now, i used to use the suffix performance braid. It hasnt failed me yet This. Suffix is more round and stays round. Both cast like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erockmang Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Power Pro has been what i've used and its been money for me. No issues at all and for swimmers I prefer 80lb braid. I fish 65 for my buzzbaits and frogs. 80lb will be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiswimbait Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Been liking 100# power pro lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaswimbaiter Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 100lbs!!? Wow, thats some big line. I guess i am not using heavy enough line, i like using 40lbs PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiswimbait Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 It's thinner than most 20 lb. mono and cast great. No downside to going heavy that I've found but it doesn't dig into the spool as near as much and I'm throwing 10 inch baits and I couldn't make it break.

Triv Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Diawa samuria braid. Pay the extra dough and you will never look back. I promise.... CrystalCoaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 im stuck between getting Power Pro or Spiderwire 65lb braid... I use PowerPro and have been happy with both it and the Suffix braid. I have not found a Spiderwire product that I could stand to use for more than one trip without stripping it off the reel and throwing it away.

schmith12 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Been liking 100# power pro lately. On my reels that have braid I have either 100lb or 80lb Power Pro, 80lb power pro has a diameter of 18lb mono use anything less and your asking to dig into the spool. If your fishing weedy, murky water I wouldn't fish anything else. If your fishing gin clear lakes then yeah mono, flouro, copoly is generally a better choice. They each have there strengths and weakness's so fish whats right for your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Addict Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 i'll second Samurai, stuff is smooth as silk, durable and strong as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkin8977 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I appreciate everyone's feedback! I decided to get the 65lb Power Pro line and I have to say that I'm super impressed! Alot of the reviews said it would bleed the dye when it's wet but that never happened. Also after 2 full days of fishin, the line still has its color!
