So in the Spring when your casting 1/16oz Road runner type heads on a small (President) bail type reel, what is the most flexible braided line you can use?
I’ve used 20lb test Power Pro for years, but when it is new it’s has a lot of memory to it.
I know today there are better brands out there with all the advancements in braided line?
Thank You for your suggestions!

I am a Saltwater Guide in South Padre and i use Power Pro on all my reels. Its been good to me. Mine never seems to have any memory to it that i have noticed. Maybe it's the humidity here.

Fins Wind Tamer is also good. I am not sponsored by any of them either. Just my opinion.
