Pros

1. Great sensitivity

2. No stretch so you can really lay the wood to a fish on hook set

3. No memory so it slides through the eyelets easily


I like it for deep winter fishing so I can maybe straighten out a hook instead of retying every hangup.

Also like it for fish in Iron wood bushes where I need to take up my line by pulling my jig up to the rod tip and maneuver my tip into position to let the jig down into the opening

Says it all right here!

I've used braid exclusively for about 15 years. I have 20# braid on almost every reel. Unless I'm pulling cranks or dipping heavy structure i use a leader, monofilament most of the time or fluorocarbon in clear water. I pre-tie the leaders and store them on a Tackle Buddy. I use a Fast Snap on my braid and a swivel on the leader. When I break off or want to change baits it can be done quickly. There is no perfect line for all conditions but this system works best for me. As I have Matured my fingers don't work as well as they used to, especially in cold weather, and it takes too long to re-rig on the water.

Tying braid knots on the water when it is cold is a pain! Very strong, small diameter, very sensitive. Go with a bigger test than you need just for the ease of tying lures on, I use 20lb or bigger.

Everything said above is true.

I like tiny braid for the ease of casting. I never go over 8, and prefer 4/6.

I only use 50# white braid for bass fishing...hardly ever need to change it out....never had a fish break off....limp as sewing machine thread....it will cut your hand....works best on spinning reels...have to order it online, most stores don't stock it...the white color does not seem to affect the bite....this is the one I use...you can throw it a country mile...

I’ve been using it on a spinning reel for bass. I love how I can set a hook with and the sensitivity is amazing.

For most of my deep water fishing i use gravity braid . It is a sinking braid and really like it. Might want to try it.

I love braided line for single pole jig fishing. The sensitivity is unbelievable. Compared to mono, and as stated above, you can really get good hook sets with the braided line
