Anthony, I don't know what kind of reel you're using but that does matter, especially with the whiplash. I would suggest Fireline is a good line to start with. It actually isn't a braid but it doesn't stretch either. Fireline seems to be more friendly to the Penn reels. Whiplash tends to get alot of line twist unless you have a big and very freespinning line roller. If you are using it on conventional reels then the whiplash is good but hard to pick out backlashes. I use Cortland Spectron on my conv. like Saltheart and it seems ok to me. I use 65lb whiplash on a 7500 Neptune spinnning reel. and I use 14lb. Fireline on a Nautil 6500 spinning reel. I tie on my barrel swivels with a palomar knot.
Good Luck
