Well I am a big fan of the Power Pro braided line, it is now the only braid use. I like braide lines for the the stenght and the diameter of it. Most of my rods that have a braid on them have a 50lb braid. I find the 50lb small enough to where it still cast well and has the strenght to pull even te biggest bass out of whatever cover it can get into. There is not near the stretch in a braided line, so you can pick up on bites better. At my place there are a couple of hole that sit away for the dock. With the Power Pro I am able to cast wa out there and still fill the slightest bites. Hope you give Power Pro a try, sure glad I did.
