I never tried spectra line and was wondering what would be a preferable brand with consideration to price and quality, thanks in advance.

Daiwa Samurai(freshwater),power pro(bay),izorline(offshore) are the only ones I use

I've used Izorline braid (in white) for saltwater and had zero problems. I just started using Daiwa Samurai for freshwater. There are almost no situations I do not use braid for now. I own like 20 reels and I think maybe 3 of them have mono.

Daiwa Samurai when I'm not around too much soft structure. Love that stuff.
Sufix Performance is good stuff too.
I am not a fan of PowerPro at all.
On my list to try is Sufix 832.

I zor they sell it by wieght. also if you go with braid make sure you wet'er down before casting. just think of putting your thumb on a belt sander then putting a cigar out on it. It hurts

Nowadays most any of the brand names that you can buy at most tackle shops are good and you can't go wrong. PP, Izor, Blackwater, Jerry Brown and Daiwa Samurai are all good choices. I also see a few of you guys saying that you only use the Samurai for fresh but I spool salt reels with that too. Our Daiwa rep recommends it and we haven't had any complaints just FYI..

i'm seeing a lot of the same brands being repeated, definitely helps narrow down my options. also read some useful info for a first time braid user, thank you. you've all been very informative.

Just curious what makes Power Pro not a good choice?
