Global Moderator Mike L Posted January 28, 2021 Global Moderator Posted January 28, 2021 I use Original Power Pro. It’s certainly not the smoothest, but for what I use braid for it’s what I want/need Mike 2 Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 28, 2021 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 28, 2021 Seaguar Smackdown. It has all the qualities you want. It's a workhorse. 3 Quote
ThatZX14Fella Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I like Power Pro Super Slick V2. I haven't used it in a long time because I had a spinning reel with 20lbs Power Pro that I put on my baitcaster and I bought 8lbs Berkley X-9 to try on my spinning reel. I haven't used it enough to give an honest opinion. 1 Quote

I DO like the microwave guides on my spinning gear. Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted January 28, 2021 Super User Posted January 28, 2021 I don't know if it is the ****, but I use Sufix 832 and I really like it. I really want to try Smackdown but I only buy in bulk and so far I haven't found it in bulk. 2 Quote
Super User ATA Posted January 28, 2021 Super User Posted January 28, 2021 I just asked that question yesterday, I wish it can be help. 2 Quote
newapti5 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I like them all. Sufix 832, Original PowerPro and Slick 8, Smackdown, Tuftline, Spiderwire, YGK, some pricy JDM Monai line... and even some Chinese Seaknight S9, as long as you choose the right diameter and poundage for the job. My current favorite is the Vicious No-fade Braid. It's a little pricy, but I believe it deserves more praise and popularity. 2 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted January 29, 2021 Super User Posted January 29, 2021 I tried a few, original PP, super slick v1, j-braid x8 and Sufix 832 plus a few cheap brand. 832 is the best compromise of them all. J-braid is super soft super quiet but a lot of tip wrap, PP is not soft nor smooth and pretty loud. 832 is right in between. 2 Quote

Love the smoothness of Diawa J Braid 8, never had any issues with it use it on about15 rods... Hate original Powerpro when it comes to my bass gear, very rough / coarse feeling going through the guides... Im a fan of the smooth 8 strand dyneema type stuff... 2 Quote

Super User bulldog1935 Posted January 29, 2021 Super User Posted January 29, 2021 It's hard not to like all braids compared to mono/fluoro, just because they don't have line memory. But I do like the good soft coated braids better than hard braid. 6 hours ago, jbsoonerfan said: I don't know if it is the ****, but I use Sufix 832 and I really like it. I really want to try Smackdown but I only buy in bulk and so far I haven't found it in bulk. My last braid purchase was 300 yds of YGK Oddport for a surf reel. Kind of cool, it came on 3 connected and keyed-together 100-yd spools. Kinda like the old days 1 Quote

The Maestro Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Up to 50lbs - Power Pro Maxcuatro 65lbs - 80lbs - Original Power Pro Maxcuatro has ridiculously thin diameter to strength ratio. It's super limp and manageable too. 1 Quote
