braid. unmatched sensativity and zero strech=good hooksets. also gets you out of cover nicely.

What size line are you guys using?

When I'm pitching in weeds, I use 30 lb Power Pro. If I'm pitching in and around rocks that could cut the braid, I use a 2-3 ft leader. This is the only thing that I now use braid for, and that's just about a complete 180 degree turn around from a guy that not so many years ago used braid for everything.

Yup 30 lbs. Power Pro for the reasons Saavedra listed.

For really heavy cover I'll go with 40lb Stren Super Braid.

Everything else, 15-20lb Seaguar InvizX fluorocarbon.

When I'm on a serious reed pattern I like to use Power Pro 12/50.  Anything else is 17lb XT.
