If you have had bad experiences casting braid, try nanofil in 6 or 8. Casts a mile.

My 2 cents.......
Been using spyderwire stealth glow vis for a few years now, converted from fireline.
Much cheaper than powerpro.
10 lb on spinning reel for casting and jig pole, 15 lb on cork n shiner pole.
15 lb handles nicely, either will straighten jig or shiner hook.
Yes, it will wrap on rod tip, especially when raining.
I have learned to keep rod tip below 10:00 position really helps with this.

I use both, I do love braid, no memory and it lasts a long time. I use mono in the 2-6# tests, so I can see to tie knots. I do use mono leaders with my braid, it helps with wrapping around rod tip and knotting problems.
