for boat and deep sea wreck fishing: Power Pro 20lb to 50lb
general lure fishing: Tuff Line (floating) 8lb to 12lb
I wouldn't use braid for anything else other than the above mentioned, interesting opinions though can be read here:

or just do an online search and make up your own mind.

Former PP user. I had no issues with the 4 strand at all. BUT, I'm loving the Sunlines.
Rounder and smoother
