I use 50 or 65 lb PowerPro on my conventionals. I could use lighter stuff, but I like the thickness as I have to level the line with my thumb. I fish around a lot of rocks and current and haven't lost a lot of plugs except for obvious user error. I have tried a couple of times to go back to mono but the lack of any feel out there always brings me back to braid.
On the rare occasion when I chunk, I use 25 or 30 lb IronSilk on my squidders, just because it seems right to use it. IronSilk is very smooth on the thumb.
