Not really braid, since it's fused. Try Fireline. Strong, casts well, sensitive enough to feel exactly how your plug is working, relatively abrasion-resistant. I've used it since it came out, even after trying many others. Lots of other great fishermen agree. Give it a shot.

If you want a trouble free braid try Tuf-line XP, handles great on spinning reels, much better than PP does. Not expensive as braids go and lasts a long time.  Very small diameter, casts great.


Seaguar Kanzen is pricey but excellent.


Sufix 832 is very good also

Many thanks. Will try it.

I've used:


Daiwa Samurai



Power Pro



Power Pro Super Slick



Sufix 832



Sufix Performance



Spiderwire Invisibraid 

I've never really had problems with any of them to be honest.  What kind of problems are you having?  My first guess is that you're not closing the bail manually, that seems to eliminate most of the problems people have with braid.  

832 and Invisi-Braid are the two I enjoyed the most with Super Slick being third.  If I had to pick just one I'd go Invisi-Braid.  I haven't noticed much (if any) difference between that and the 832 and it's less than half the price.  If memory serves the breaking strength (in 20lb test) is higher than 832 as well.

Okie, what kind of knots are you using? I had some issues with knots a while back so I switched to a Palomar knot for tying to a swivel. If I'm tying to mono, I use an Alberto knot. Have not had either slip since. As far as breakage issues, I've never had any line break for no reason. I've used PP, 832 and cheap Berkeley braid. Never a mid line break.
