which braid? 1st time user.

[bassin is addicting]

just picked up MH spinning rod....all others i have are Med. looking to get a specific set up for "power" fishing

gonna put it on a new Quantum 2500 spinning reel.  i know thats not a "power" reel but its what i got.

i've never used braid before.

i've always used mono...and recently Yo-Zuri ultra soft.

i don't wanna go crazy price wise on the braid...so what low/medium priced brand and lb should i get?

also, can i use an improved clinch knot with braid.  i don't plan on using a leader.

thanks..

  I would use either Powerpro or Suffix braid. Both good contenders in the sub 20$ range. Do not use the clinch w/ braid. http://www.animatedknots.com/palomar/index.php. This knot is easy to tie, and won't slip with braid. 8-)

Vicious braid is pretty good.

Power pro all the way!

I like power pro also.

The Palomar works better, but if you're more comfortable with it, you can use the Improved Clinch with braid if you go twice thru the eye, followed by 7+ wraps.

You should send Dan+ a PM and ask him. He knows a ton about braid.
