I have been at Surfside Beach this past week using a Spinning Rod rigged with 8 lb Trilene XL throwing a 3/4 oz. gold spoon in the surf. I have caught a lot of fish but have probably missed just as many due to poor hook sets with the stretchy line and long casts. I plan to switch this rod & reel over to braid to eliminate the stretch and improve the feel. I was thinking about Suffix 832, PowerPro or Fireline. Any recommendations?

20# powerpro has been the most consistent for me.

Fins windtamer or powerpro are the ones I use. I use powerpro #20 on my spinning rod

Thanks, I ordered some green Power Pro 20 lb, some more gold spoons and a new rod.

PowerPro is good,
I have recently been trying Daiwa J-Braid, 8 strand. It seems thinner than PP. Price is good and color holds. Was catching flounder and Corvinas in rough conditions Peru with 30lb braid. Did get wind knots on the first day, but I think it was me, lure + wind combination, as it didn't happen again.
Did not use a leader.

20# power pro with a 24 inch flurocarbon liter

I use the old reliable original 10# Power Pro on all of my spinning reels with no complaints. The most consistent "best braid" reviews seem to go to Power Pro Slick 8, Sufix 832, and FINS Windtamer. FYI, I used Fireline on my crappie rods when I fished fresh water and really liked it. When I went back to the salt I found that it didn't hold up in the salt as well as other lines. That's when I switched to Power Pro.

I use 20# fins windtamer!!
