I've been using 30/6 Spiderwire braid since it came out. In fact I've probably got a couple 6500's with 4-5 year old spiderwire on them. I tried the 30# fireline and it's like rope compared to the spiderwire; plus I'm giving up reel capacity and more importantly casting distance.

I use it on the Shimano Stradics 4000 & Baitrunner 3500's and the Calcutta and Ambassadeur 6500's. I like it because it's limp, small diameter, stronger than 30# in my opinion and casts a country mile. I tie a loop or uni knot to a small barrel, 30# Seagar Flurocarbon leader, to my 5/0 Owner cutting point 90 degree jerkbait hook.

I've yet to loose a fish because of the braid, unless it's a large and fast fish; because if it takes you into the rocks it doesn't matter what brand your fishing. Braid and rocks don't mix well, that's why I like the mono leader.
