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.

Way too complicated for day to day fishing in a catch and release lake.
I think I am going to like the Gamma for texas rigging and I have had
the same braided line up to the swivel for some time on my carolina
rig. Other than that, all mono, all the time. If they break it, I
will just lie about how big it was.
