My personal favorite are power pro v2 and j braid

To me braid is a specialty main line and only used for specific presentations.

For years I used original Power Pro because it never gave me a reason to change or to even experiment with something else which I rarely do for anything anyway.

I tried a spool of Seaguar’s Smackdown and never looked back.

There are other 8 carrier lines that you’ll hear about soon enough, but for me and what I use braid for Smackdown is all I use.

suffix 832

I have tried a lot of braid and all of it works good but for my money - hard to beat the Kast King super power braid - I use different diameter for different applications but generally use a lot of 50 and a lot of the 25.

Power Pro for me so far. The only other braid I tried was spiderwire and all I'll say about that is...Never Again"!! PP was on a reel that was given to me and I liked it and see no reason to change for sake of changing. JMHO.

YGK x8 Upgrade in 0.8-1.5 diameters.

Seaguar Smackdown, Sufix Revolve or Sufix 832 is all I'll use.

Basic power pro for most things. I do like Daiwa Samurai though for more finesse applications. Super smooth.

I was a Suffix 832 diehard, but I've been very impressed with Berkley X9, I don't think I'm going back to 832.
