Cortland just came out with a new braid on the Spectron line called Master Braid. It it awesome!! I have it on 2 Calcutta 400s and it's far superior to any braid I have ever used on conventionals. No idea how it will perform on a spinning reel. BTW, it's a bit pricey. A 300 yard spool cost me $41.00.

No boat, back in the suds.

I've used 20 LB to 50 LB Power Pro for 4 or 5 years now with NO problems. Gonna try 65 LB this year as well.

I flip the line on my reels each year and get 2 years out of each spool.
