Can y’all guide me to 2-3 top brands of braids? Reasonable price unless it’s worth the premium
Unsure what I’m using for bait, o was told 20 lb braid

Thanks

Suffix 832 and PowerPro are probably the 2 most popular.

For me on a Spinning Reel Berkley Crysta Firlinel or X9 works best. For a baitcaster reel Suffix 832 works best. Just what works for me.

Suffix 832 is tough to beat on every reel.

I’ve had really good luck with Power Pro. But if you want something decent, at a lower price, check out the Berkley Big Game braid at Walmart. Can’t beat the price and it’s pretty good.

I like Daiwa Samurai or Sunline XPlasma, depending on use. Also consider 4 vs 8 strand - generally speaking, 4 strand is better around rocks or vegetation, while 8-strand better around wood or for finesse/spinning applications. But if you are just trying out braid you really can't go wrong with any of the popular priced brands mentioned already like Suffix or BigGame or BPS, PP, etc.

Power Pro Super 8 Slick V2. I prefer 8 strand braid on any and all combinations. It comes through the eyelets much smoother, and is much quieter when reeling.
