I tried braided line one time and after the first tangle I swore I would not use it again. I now mostly use 6# flourocarbon and I currently use the Berkley transition vanish for spider rigging and crankbaits. For the ultra light rods with a slipcork I like 4# P-line. I caught a 9 lb bass out of lake Monticello on the 4# P-line last summer....it took 25 minutes to get him to the boat. Once I got him in the open water he was as good as caught....just a matter of time with the drag set light.
