I have used Samurai almost exclusively for my braid over the last several seasons, but am going to give the new Seagaur Kanzen a try this year.

It is the best braid that I have ever fished.

For reference Ive fished kanzen, powerpro, and suffix 832. The line is phenomenal in all aspects.

Tried it. Went back to Power Pro.

It's all the braid I use. 55lb for flipping n pitching, topwater, and A rig. I have no reason to switch.

Among the users of this braided line that I have talked to, I have heard nothing but rave reviews of it. I haven't had the chance to fish it, but I am strongly considering using it when frogging season rolls around.

Tried them all. So far Samurai is the best I've ever used. One thing to remember is Samurai tests out right at its pound test. That is why it is a little smaller than power pro or suffix. So 30# is really 30# not 40 like the others. Get the samurai, spray it with some reel magic and life is good. By the way Kanzen is awful, Took it off one day after I put it on. I have no problem with power pro or suffix, Samurai is just better. Really want to try the 15# on my spinning reels but the lighter the test the more expensive it gets. Hope this helps

Another fan of samurai, though I use the 55lb on almost all my setups. Definitely worth a try :)

I'll also add that I use the 55lb for reference. It is a very nice size if you are going to put it on regular casting gear.

Samurai is a bit thinner that usual, just like Kanzen.  Tried the 20# on baitcaster, it kept on snapping and digging in the spool like Kanzen.  I like  PP Super8Slick and 832 better.
