braid whats the preferrence

[Saltheart]

Cortland Spectron is the toughest braid. Can only be used on conventional reels.

I use 35 lb on a 6500 size reel and 50 lb on a 7000 size reel.

PP on everything except the boat stuff, which is 25 or 30 big game or backcountry. The pp has served me well so far around the rocks as well as in the canal with larger fish. I've noticed no adverse effects on the line yet, in fact it fishes better as you break it in. Been using about 3-4 feet of 50# ande flouro and the system has worked well.

I've used powerpro and spiderwire 30lb - 65lb, spin and convench reels, no problems with either, but both are a dog in the wind.

Cortland just came out with a new braid on the Spectron line called Master Braid. It it awesome!! I have it on 2 Calcutta 400s and it's far superior to any braid I have ever used on conventionals. No idea how it will perform on a spinning reel. BTW, it's a bit pricey. A 300 yard spool cost me $41.00.

PAUL,
WHERE DID YOU PICK IT UP BIG BEAR?

I've used 20 LB to 50 LB Power Pro for 4 or 5 years now with NO problems. Gonna try 65 LB this year as well.

I flip the line on my reels each year and get 2 years out of each spool.
