If you like Power Pro, you're going to love Sufix Preformence Braid. 50 lb test is just over kill test wise for every application but pitching into the weeds. That's where I use 50-65 lb test. 30 lb casts great and I've never experienced the line digging in issues with it.

One thing that every braid users needs to keep in mind is that when using 50 lb test with a rod rated to 20-25 test lb line, you can easily snap the tip way before the line will ever snap. That's another reason I use 30 lb test. Might even try 20 lb test and see how my Daiwa Advantages handle it. And always have a little more drag dialed in then you would normally have. You don't have to lock down the drag or have it that tight even in the nasty stuff to muscle out a fish.
