Braids is better than mono in the canal. I like 50 Lb Spectron on my BG7000CL but will have to look at the master braid Mike P has mentioned. Haven't tried it yet.

My experience has been that truly braided braid is better than the spun or fused braids (or whatever they call it). My big complaint with the fused lines is that in an overrun , you can create a weak spot that will fail later. In the truly braided lines , it either breaks or its fine , no hidden damage waiting to bite you. Also , just a little heavier line seesm to make a big difference. for example , the 50 LB Whiplash would hide damage while the 65 LB didn't appear to.

Overall , i want the thickest line that will get about 250 to 300 yards on my reel. More material (as in hicker) means more wear resistance IMO>
