Hi, I just bought a new jig and Texas rig combo and I’m thinking on using braided line on it for extra sensitivity. What is a good braid to use for a good price. Thanks!!

Spiderwire, Power Pro, Sufix 832 are popular choices. I've finally committed to braid this year..straight braid with no leaders. To me, one of the benefits of braid is its strength..adding a leader only weakens it. I like Yellow line and I darken the last 10 feet or so with green. Still trying to find one with a little body. The yellow one I have is too limp and I get tip wraps some. I've got Spiderwire Invisibraid on one, it seems pretty good.

 

I'm sure some long time braid guys will chime in.

832, Smackdown,Fins, Gamma

832 & PowerPro Spectra are my go tos. Last night I ordered a spool of Kastpro to try out.  It’s very thin, and I am curious if it is just accurately rated unlike 832 & PowerPro which are much stronger than their rating.

This year I am running kastking 4 strand braid in 10lb on spinning, 30lb for casting, and 50lb for frogs. All high vis yellow. So far it's been very solid. $15 Canadian for 550 yard spools, you can't really go wrong. $45 total and I have more line than I will use in 5 years. 

For braid I use Power Pro in either Moss Green or Hi Viz yellow.  Fluoro I use Seagaur InvizX.

Kastking, daiwa j-braid, and power pro are the types I've used. Prefer the daiwa j-braid x4

Power Pro.

I use 3 braids, KastKing Super Power, Seaguar Smackdown, and Seaguar Flipping Braid. For what you're wanting to do, I'd suggest going with either the Smackdown or Flipping depending on what lb test you want. 

I have a very bad experience with spider , never again .

If you can find it, American Tackle Bushido braid is really good stuff. I'm also a big fan of Sunline FX2.

Anything but spider wire

 

I have Power Pro Super Slick 8 on my spinning rod and Tuf-Line Supercast on my topwater rod and both are great braided lines.

PP and 832.

I use power pro.

Fireline Ultra 8. Bye bye frayed braid and tip wrap!

Suffix 832

 

832 for me as well.

Daiwa J-Braid x8 has been a solid line at a good price. If you need something more abrasion resistant try Power Pro Max Cuatro.

I almost pulled the trigger on that but went with InvisiBraid..how does it compare to the Original fireline or Nanofil (If you've tried those?)

I have never tried the original fireline but the Ultra is much better than Nanofil as it does not fray.

Original Power Pro is my go-to line, but I have subbed in Spider Wire Stealth, and Suffix braid with no difference in performance.
