Good Braid for rocks?
I know... use mono. I like too many things about braid. mainly zero stretch and distance. So, knowing braid is the worst in rocks... what's the best of the worst?

On conventional, I really like the Spectron.

I use Power Pro. And as far as mono vs braid in rocks, I'll take braid everyday. Only broken off twice, and that was by that mystery rope at a certain location. 65conv, 30 spin.

There is no such thing. Some last better than others but if the rocks are heavy go to mono. Some day you will thank me for this.

Why even try.........

I've been using 50lb Spectron on my Calcutta 400 with no issues. Spool capacity doesn't seem to be a problem as I have little depletion...the stuff is so tough it nearly always breaks at the weakest point in the leader/clip etc...
Or perhaps I just can't cast that far
