    Favorite braid

    Whats everyones favorite braided line?

    I have used almost all of them except YGK and a couple other Japan made braids.

    So far I really like the Maxima ultragreen, Vicious No-Fade braid and P-line TCB 8 if I could find TCB 8 in 10lb yellow that would be perfect.
    I love the No-Fade braid, just wish it was offered in lower then 20lb and in yellow. it really does not fade and looks new after months of use.

    I have one baitcaster and two or three spinning rods spooled up with braid. In a tournament earlier this week I got tired of being inaccurate with braid, and changed to a reel with mono. I use 8 strand 10 and 50 pound Chinese generic (Hercules) braid at about 1/3 the price of major brands.
    As luck would have it, I got tired of not catching bass after 3 hours without a bite, took out my light action rod with 8 pound mono and a small crappie crankbait, and caught a 5 pound 2 ounce bass. Worked to put me in 3rd and win lunker.

    I use Power Pro and like it for the most part. I've tried SpiderWire Stealth and didn't care for it. Same with Cabela's Ripcord

    Tufline xp been using it for years. Ive tried power pro , jbraid 8 carrier, vicious, 832 and still keep coming back to it. Only thing it doesnt do well is hold color but few do.

    I'm sure there's a lot of good options but I've never had to move away from Power Pro
