redsox- ive used power pro (50-65) and stealth (50-65) without any problems as far as wind knots or anything that has to do with the braid friendliness of the reel. Just dont over fill the spool when you pack it on, and be careful not to pack the last 100 yards or so on really tight.

The reason for that is say if youre fishing eels. You have your reel packed real tight with braid. You make a cast and all is well. When you reel in though there is hardly any any tension on the line (unless youre fishing somewhere with strong current, but still probably not enough tension on the line to pack it on as tight as you first did) so the line is packed on loosely, but when you get toward the end of your retrieve the line is overfilled on the spool now, and not packed on tight. Next cast you get a nasty wind knot becuase the line comes off in bunches.
