Braid recommendation

Daiwa J-Braid x8 Grand is pretty solid for me, doesn't frey.

 

Powerpro Maxcuatro is pretty good, thin and quiet too and worth a look.


Sunline SX-1 12# for spinning gear.

I just got back from fishing some of the hardest fighting fish of my life..in some of the nastiest cover.  I brought two reels with 65lb braid.  powerPRO because that is what my shop had right before my airplane flight. 

 

my friend brought two other braids.  Samarai?  ahh..I won't pretend to remember.  I fished straight thru, ZERO fray, issues.  the line didn't bite into the spool even on the hardest longest fish-fights or snags.  cast after cast was stellar and epically far.    my friend had to respool on day3...and so did my brother who bummed line from my friend.  

 

heavy stuff..I use 65 power pro.   light stuff..I use Sufix.
