I have been using braided line (Spiderwire) for 15 years. Once you work past its "issues" it has no equal. I used it today to catch 12 Redfish. The line has been on my C-5 Garcia 6500 for eight years or more. It's as good today as the day I spooled it up. THe secret to using braid is to buy a reel set up for it.
I once hauled a +20" Speckled Trout over a rusted out sunken barge with the Spiderwire. Any venue I may find myself in be it rocks, shell banks or structure, the line is of no concern at all.
I think it is magic.
