Power Pro Braid Line Question

I didn't read through this whole post, so forgive me if these point have already been made.

1) Don't go for cheap braid like powerpro. It fades, fringes and has a lot of memory to it.

You want a nice limp line for spinning gear. It will prevent wind knots much better. Also, got a little heavier than you would think on the line for spinning gear, at least 40. Spinning gear is more prone to sharp angles when winding in and it will tend to cut in to itself under heavy drag pressure.

Don't make the same mistake I made, and think "ok that should be enough line" just to save some money. One day out on the charters in 300+ ft of water and I was uniknotting line on every reel I had. Do it once, do it right.

Also, a thicker line is less prone to cut into your skin. Since spinning rods bend with the line down, if you have a fat cow on and you're holding it by the handle able the reel, you run the risk of the line becoming taught enough to cut you. It's a problem the Shimano Terez and the Trevalas have.

Hope some of this helps. I also go straight braid. I only put floro leader on when I'm targeting WSB or have a dropper loop set up for bottom fish. Well, I don't use flouro on bottom fish because that stuffs expensive. 20lb mono does the trick
