    Tried many, still hard to beat price/quality of PowerPro in either hy-vis yellow or bright green.

    I like Fins windtamer as my go to line. I use to just use it on loaner rigs but now I just buy it in bulk and use it for everything. Fins puts it on sale a few times a year pretty cheap too.

    Power pro is my favorite. Berkley x5 has treated me well so has Ardent gliss.

    ive had wind knot issues with PP super slick and fireline and they love wrapping around the tip. I’ve also broke more lures off using 832 and super slick than any other lines I’ve ever used. If I can break off casting a 1/16oz ned rig with brand new line and no cracked guides or anything then there’s something wrong. Some people love those 2, I’d rather spend my money elsewhere.

    Sufix 832. I recently tried Seaguar smack down in #15 and I did not like it at all. Very expensive line and it felt like a waste of money.

    I bite the bullet and went with the YGK. I can justify it because I change my braid out on spinning rods every year or two. Will report back. Thanks for all the recommendations.

    Another vote for good old PP in 15 or 20 lb. I have tried a lot of other including Samurai and it was just too limp and got wind knots. For me, PP has the right level of limpness and the quality is always consistent.

    I fish exclusively spinning gear for smallmouth so I have a tremendous amount of experience with braid on spinning gear. And I think the most important question to get clear before choosing a braid is what are the conditions you will be fishing, ie open water or around cover (rocks, brush, grass etc)? If you are fishing open water, hands down the best handling, most visible (and lasting visibility), best knot strength (holds leader knots unbelievably well) and casting braid on spinning gear is Sufix Nanobraid in the aqua camo color. I use 10lb to 14lb line and it has performed flawlessly on all types of applications, ie drop shot, ned, small swimbaits, Neko, Wacky, light cranks in open water and Hair Jigs. Have NEVER had this line break or lost a knot ever.

    If I am fishing cover, truly hard to beat Power Pro. I typically use their vermillion red in 15lb test and it handles everything from jerkbaits, jigs, heavier cranks, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits and heavier paddle tail swimbaits. Stuff handles nicely, takes knots greats, casts a mile and the color tends to last for quite a while. I realize that vermillion red is not hi vis, but it works pretty well for the purpose of being visible and just doesn't bleed like the other hi vis colors tend to bleed.

    Tight lines!
