I have braid on everything except a couple crankbait setups. For braid I use 30/40#

I’m on my 4th season with 30lb. 832 and wouldn’t go back.  No backlash issues plus I can chose what kind of leader or not to use depending on the presentation/conditions.

16 rod and reel setups, all using braid. power pro and sufix 832. never a issue! definitely dont go below 30# on a baitcaster!  some times i will use mono for a leader but mostly on lures with treble hooks, so the hooks dont get tangles as easy on the line.

I use braid on every setup. If I need the abrasion resistance or a clear line application I tie on a leader. Upsize your braid and the issues you're having will cease.

Braid lasts longer, good braid is stronger, large braid is easy to pick out backlashes, and strong braid gives you a good level of confidence -ie I've had more than a few instances where I was glad I switched that 6lb fluoro spool out for the 15lb braid on a spinning rod, and I'm constantly fishing in heavy cover where mono or fluoro lines on my casting reel wouldn't give me the warm and fuzzies if I happened to hook into my PB.
