problem I had with line 12 lb. and
less size, it would get behind the spool on the sides on the
baitcasting reel- there's just enough space there for a piece of link
to jam its way through- with the 15 lb. test that can't happen, as the
line is physically too large to get stuck back there.

That's a reel problem, not a line problem. Get a better reel, or one
designed to use with smaller diameter line.
