Have you considered samurai braid by Daiwa? I've been using the stuff for a few years. Bought a 1300 yard spool of #50. It's smooth, supple, and thinner than most other lines of the same diameter.

I know people who swear by Samuri. I've had great results with PP Slick. for 2 years.

No boat, back in the suds.

Samurai seems to undertest, at least in the thinner strengths. And it has horrible abrasion resistance. I tried it in the Canal and had to replace it, but it probably is great from the beach. Nothing casts like it. I've come to settle on FINS Windtamer for all my needs. 40# suits me fine, even for jigging.
