whats the best type of braid available, and also the best bang for your buck...i was going to buy power pro, but recently have seen some negative reviews on it, so any help is greatly appreciated
Without knowing more, it would be hard to make a recommendation. JB is very popular, Diamond Braid is becoming more popular, Power Pro Hollow Ace is also something you might want to consider.
Depends on the reel its going on and its intended use .. for bottom fishing, solid braid is the better route, but for offshore needs, hollow core is the only way to fly . In either case, Jerry Brown makes a very good product. Berkley also makes a very reliable braid
