Best overall braid I’ve used, when taking price, useability, availability, and performance is the Suffix Nanobraid 2lb.
Runner up to the .3 Varivas Area Trout Limited Premium, my biggest two complaints with the Varivas, and the Daiwa to lesser extent, is the rapid color fade, and the Varivas Premium is so sick I struggle with knots to shock leader unless I go to a .006” or larger shock leader diameter.
The nanobraid is already ghost white, nothing to fade to.
I’ve recently been paring down what line I have on the Luvias spools and spare spools to just what I use, I’ve given or throw away all my PE lines except for the silk fine .15 Daiwa Presso for a really niche purpose, and the Suffix Nanobraid 2lb for everything else.
That said, the Ajing Master Blue Moon fluorocarbon has SEVERELY limited my use case for braid.
I’d wager less than 1/2 dozen trips this year will or have included braid.
Im up to 37 different ultralight lines tested this far, and I feel I’m probably done testing new line unless new fluorocarbons in hi-vis come out. I just want to fish now.
