for most fixed spool work i use braid 20 or 30lb if not f1 or powersteel from ultima i think the f1 is more abraision resistant,the powersteel has less stretch,i think line is up to your personal pref as some lines are loved by some and hated by others :roll:

completely agree, knots very well @ the leader, casts well & decent abraision resistance. Reltively thin too.

'Round' Braid for me...and match the dia of 12lb mono (0.32mm) = bout 50/60lb braid 'red or yellow' great for visibility!
