Braided line and super lines are fine if your guides permit the constant abraision on them.
Fireline, spiderline, spiderwire and others all wear grooves in your guides and can cause your mono or even your hybrid lines to break at a much lower weight of fish caught once you have changed back.
Out here on the west coast, we use Spectra $$$$ and use flourocarbon lines as well as flourocarbon coated hybrid lines. They have less impact on the ceramic guides and are extremely gentle on carbide or metal guides.
If you would like to try an all around good line without all the extra cost, muss and fuss as the more expensive lines, there is alwasy the alternative. Silverthread Excalibur.
TubeDude introduce me to this line a couple of years ago and it has found it's way onto my reels for both fresh and saltwater applications.
It really meets the extreme tests and is low memory, high strength and has an excellen abrasion resistance.
You can get the Silverthread through Cabelas. There is a link for Cabelas on the top right hand corner of this web page.[cool]
