I changed to braid a couple of years ago and love it. You got to use a rod that has a little play in it. As the braid has little or no streach in it. I do all conventionl fishing and don't have any Idea how the braid works with a spinning out fit. I use Spider Wire 65# It is 15# dim.

I also switched to 6/0 Gammy octpus hooks They are the best IMO. I don't like treble!! To many hooks to play with. Octpus hooks almost always lip hook. You could try circle hooks also to get away from the gut hook up's.

Well this works for me. Good Luck with what ever you do!!
