I use both PP and Fins braid, both work quite well for me. When it comes to bass fishing I don't set the too hook hard, braided lines don't break on me. I don't know what the pulling power of 7# bass is ( your PB), is it more than 30#? If yes use stronger line or use your drag wisely, if no then a lighter line should be sufficient.

Knowing how to use your drag and letting fish take line will land more fish than trying to muscle them in, too tight a drag can result in line breakage.
