If you fish in a tent or if the outside temps are above about 28 braid can be great. Be sure to wind it on tightly. I tolerate it down to about 20 degrees at times. I use 10 lb Power Pro Ice Tec with a 3-6 lb leader of Sufix Invisiline fluoro or Sufix Ice Magic connectected by an Alberto knot, it's very strong and much easier to tie than the FG and still slim. I also have several rods rigged with straight fluoro or mono 2 - 10 lb depending on the target species and expected size of fish.
