I've been running Spiderwire stealth braid this season, no complaints so far.

Sheephead must be prolific. I was at Lake Ni****ing in north Canadia drfting a crawler in60 feet of water and caught a big one.

Any recommendations for a good braided line?



power pro.  
 
more expensive than other braids, but worth it in my opinion compared to the other braids i've tried.

I am still using power pro, 20# that is 18 years old on some spinning reels.  It has seen salt, sand and freshwater.

I do power pro too. Some of mine is pretty old too.

I second Power Pro! I find the spectra fiber they use is the most durable and it stacks on reels better. Suffix 832 has the Gore fiber which is good but I still find Power Pro better.

We have used power pro for years on our trolling gear. No problems with it.

I think the first spool I bought is about 12 years old. I've turned it around maybe twice so far.

Everything I fish has braid on it, except for my threaded minnow/trout outfit. My flat lining set ups are BGs on Riversiders 8'6 med-lite with 20#PP. Braid has been a revelation in the trolling world, IMO. Zero stretch makes for a high hooked percentage, rather than the "rubber band" action mono has. My line counter/dispey rods have 30# on em. Heck I even have it on my crappie rods. Like Eyes stated, it is more money though. Can't go wrong with buying something once.. jus say'IN, IMHO..

Seems like power pro is the consensus choice.

I’m really coming around to braid with a flourocarbon leader for presentations like drifting unweighted plastics. Not as much line twist, and you can feel the lightest little taps. Flouro seems like it’s still the way to go for stuff like dragging jigs across the bottom (?).

I took the boat to wilhelm this morning for the first time this year. The water was super murky and muddy. I fished the end up around launch 1, got a few small bass and got chased off the water by the storms. Surprisingly the lake was practically deserted so it was pretty peaceful. I need to put more time in on this lake to get a better handle on the patterns, but it’s a long drive and these days I have more fun fishing rivers and creeks, so it’s hard to justify the haul.
