Have switched almost completely to braid when surf fishing. Fish mostly rocky areas and often need the extra strenght of braid to keep the fish out of the rocks. Being able to stop them has increased the number of fish I land. When eeling and jigging you just can't beat the stuff. Have had no problems using 50# Sufix.
While the braid on my cod rod is 5-years old and still in great shape I normally have to change out the line on my surf reels at least ones during the season.
