I agree that using braid is completely dependent on your presentation.
If your presentation is sitting still, I would definitely use something
other than braid, and Fluorocarbon 100% of the time.
But if I am pitching or flipping into weeds or wood I am using power pro
, at least 50lb. If I am throwing a tube in dirty water, I am using
power pro straight, if I am throwing a tube in clear water I am using
power pro (for feel) with a 2 or 3' Fluorocarbon leader. Same with a
carolina rig, I will use PP main line, and a fluoro leader.
Crankbaits and jerkbaits I use Fluoro mainline (CarbonPro or P-Line
Fluorocarbon).
Spinnerbaits (17lb most of the time, have used fluoro as well for no
good reason) and topwaters I use Mono.

I guess that is about it.

Try some cajun red.
I like the Cajun red on rainy and windy days but just for visibility sake.
Otherwise I found it to have way too much stretch and it snaps rather easily
IMO

I have to agree with the snap part when you are in hard hook set
situations. I like it for crankbaits, spinner baits, etc.

I am trying gamma now after trying power pro.

I got rid of the power pro because I do not trust braided line when it
comes to spooking fish and I will tell you why.

I feed bream off my pier and you can catch a mess pretty easily with
some Berkley niblits UNLESS you use one pole I have with 20# Spider
wire on it. They will not touch it.
