Exactly what Tubedude said about Nanofil. I love it! I do have to replace the first 5-6' once or twice a year depending on how much it gets frayed from the rocky habitat I use it in, but I've had it on my reels for since it first came out (about 10 years now) and have never had an issue with it. Check your guides for cracks/splits. Nanofil is my favorite line.
As for jigging with braid. I use Spiderwire and have used it in -20 conditions, without a tent, on Bear Lake and have never had it freeze up solid. Sure it crystalizes, but never freezes so my line can't be stirpped off my baitcaster to get down 60-100' without an effort. Sure you can catch fish jigging that deep with mono line, but I'd bet everything I own that you get a better hook up and bite detection with the braid at those depths.
