Help - I need braid reccomendations for spinning reels

[rrw4258]

The best braid I have used thus far is Stren Sonic Braid. I am not a big stren fan by any means, but this is the smoothest casting braid I have ever used. It holds up well too. For all my other lines I use P-Line. I plan on trying their Spectrex IV braid when i finish my Stren.

Have you ever used spiderwire stealth? I used it for a while then and was quite happy with it's performance; extremely limp, smooth casting and very quiet in the rod guides. Then I switched to sonic braid and immediately noticed the noise it made, and it didn't cast quite as smoothly. Pretty good, just a notch below spiderwire stealth.

Edit:gotta keep it reel!

However, this is only what I noticed on baitcasters. with spinning reels, spiderwire stealth comes off in a very tight coil from the spool. it seems to rub a little too much on the spool and when casting weightless baits with it, i've noticed that I could only cast about 40-50 feet max with it. I switched back to 8lb flouro, and emmediately noticed smoother casting with it. Maybe the dissapointment in casting distance came from the reel I was using. It was one of the newer shimano reels with the propulsion spool lip. Maybe if I used a regular spool, it might not have those problems.
