I use a strong braid leader to 10lb mono. Works a treat.

Bumping an old thread, what's best braid to use for spod and marker reels these days?
Rather not mess about with a leader, distances up to 100m

I'm still using J braid as mentioned above. Works well and decent price.

Can get 1000m of dyneema or similar off eBay or Amazon for cheap. Choose your colour and breaking strain.
I never fish at long range but I use 30lb straight through. Never had a crack off.

I went across to J braid x8 'grand' a couple of years back, after my previous 10 year old power pro finally disintegrated and the J braid has been superb. I use it in a fairly slim dia (0.19mm) with a korda shock leader and had no issues at all with knot problems through the rings.
I did try a thicker diameter to remove the shockleader requirement but picked too higher BS and it was like towrope. Only tried one session and threw it in the bin. Just found it in my ebay history, it was 0.28mm (60lb BS).
There is probably a dia in between the two i've tried that would work well without a shockleader, but i just haven't bothered trying anymore.

Have you had any issues with the braid breaking at the lineclip??
I tried the j braid.
Cast great but one cast was just that bit harder, hit the clip harder and snapped!

What were you using? I use the 41lb X4 , I think it's about.29 and never had it break. It's really good stuff

No, i've never really had many issues with snap offs when spodding apart from when i dabbled with whiplash, that was like cotton and needed very special care, windknots from hell!
