  Why thank you.  Just kidding, wish I caught big enough fish to need 100#.

For you it would be 100# to 150#. Anyone else 30# to 50#.

Ha

Whats a good size Stren Superbraid for say frog, slop fishing, pad fishing, and occasional jigs for LM ?? 
I have never used braid besides some fireline on a spinning reel YEARS ago. 

stren superbraid.  used it for three years now and it hasnt faded yet and i have no spool digging problems with it at all.

I can echo Mark's statements about Stren.  However, on the one reel I use the stuff on, I use 40 lb. test.

I use 30# Stealth Spiderwire. It was specifically made at the time not to dig into your spool. I have not had a lot of problems with it. I've tried a few brands but always come back to it.

I have tried most of the braided lines and prefer the Stren Super Braid.  It is rounder, keeps its color all season and casts well on my baitcaster.  I use mostly the 20lb ad 30lb size.  Then tie a 8 ft flourocarbon leader to the end for most of my jig fishing.  The sensitivity is awesome, and the extra strength doesn't hurt.

The price on that line not as cheap when its $3more for anything bigger then 30lb & 8.95 shipping $26.95 total.

If you would like a deal on Stren Super Braid you can purchase 300 yard spools of lo-vis green for $15-$18 each from Monster Fishing Tackle at http://www.outdoorproshop.com/Stren-Super-Braid-300yds-Fishing-Line-p/stren_supe....  Then print off the $6 rebate coupon that Stren has available on there website http://www.stren.com/media/File/081930Stren61.19.5Coupon.pdf.  That works out to be under $12 a spool!!!!  Just lookin out for ya.  I must pass the deals to the masses.  I have ordered from them before and they are quick and reliable.  Sign up for their forum and get a discount too.

I have had 50lb Berkley Gorilla Braid on one of my reel, have not changed it for four years...... I just flip it over end to end at least once a season. Its a little thicker and fairly round, works great for flipping and pitching. I may well move up to 80lb just to get more thickness on the spool to help prevent cutting in on itself, but I guess it's not just the thickness but the "softness" of the line that allows it to deform and create the gap to cut into.

You will have to use bigger braid when you spool up if you are going to cast it. 30Lb works good for dragging but gets wrapped up too easy. I use 65lb when throwing frogs or anything that you may need to cast and yank out of the slop.

Haaaaa that's exactly what I was using 

Jon,

I believe it is 50lb braid with a 12 lb diamenter. I use it for flipping/pitching only but cast senko's with it on occasion.

It sounds like you are using the tuff line which is garbage and I tried it and it did the same as you describe.

Russ

It was some cheap 20lb stuff no name brand I was just casting it out & it would wrap in the reel & next cast I would chuck out it would snap at the reel Cool to see your bait & 6feet of line sail away.What size are you using I wonder if 20lb is too small.

Jon,

All braids dig in that I know of. But breaking I haven't ever had that problem. I use Stren braid and some power Pro but prefer the satren braid because it is rounder and flows off the reel much smoother.
