I've been using 30/6 spiderwire for years and love the stuff and was very disappointed when I tried some 30# fireline last year to see what everyone liked about it. I found it to be like rope, compared to what I'd been used to and quickly spooled it on the conventional reel as it will be fine for dragging eels. I gave up 40-50 foot per cast with the fireline as compared to the spiderwire.
I use a uni knot and don't need glue. I sometimes go weeks before retying the braid to barrel swivel connection and rarely miss fish due to a failure of the braid or knot. Usually it's because I haven't checked for abrasion of either the braid, but usually the failure is in the mono leader.
Tight lines.
