I just did a search on the web to see what other people say about braid and what brand braid was better.Come to find out they make several brands of braid and colors and like most mono users some liked sufix braid,P-line braid,fireline,Stern braid, ect.,ect..Looks as tho power pro was the number one pick,I know I like it.
Also found out you can pack the reel with mono bout half way then fill with braid to save money.
Understand about the pretty good clip and tear outs,with braid you'll need to learn not to set the hook.Most hits are instant hookups and no need to set the hook plus you can over power the fish which by doing so will cause a rod to break or tear out.
They also said in the winter braid would freeze up in the reel b/c it stays wetter then mono.Which said wasn't a big problem,I will let everybody know this winter if it is or not.

Sunday we could not catch a crappie,we tried this and tried that but nothing worked for crappie.I tied on a spinnerbait and caught several green carp and with braid the feel of the hit was outstanding.Tied on a topwater popper and think it works the lure better with braid plus the hit was like rod trying to jeck out of your hand lol.Sunday was the first day I tried braid on bass fishing so I tied a worm on too just to check it out.With mono you feel a tap and maybe get a hookup with braid you feel a BIG thump with instant hookup.
These are my thoughts on braid and not trying to get anyone else to change over to it,I know all my rods will have braid from now on.I like the tuffness,the knot staying power and most of all I love to feel the THUMP that you get with braid.
