I've tried most of the braids and they all seem to loop over the top of the spool. I do like power pro and have it on most of my reels (nautils, sustains, taurus, etc)

I agree Ragfly. Its automatic for me now. wind, rain, day or night, I always pull a quick length off the reel, then run my hand quickly over the spool to make sure its clear and then manually flip the bail. It is quick, easy and cuts down on "wind knots" almost totally for me. I maybe have one a year on my spinning set ups. I also think the Shimano Spheros 8000 series is extremely braid friendly.
