I've still got reels spooled up with the old nash bullet braid. Wish they still made it.
I like 30lb powepro, don't need the extra 20lb.....(.isn't 50lb a bit excessive?) use this for fishing long range in in rugged conditions.
Gardner hydrolink's alright sinks and casts good. Rub putty over it to make it a bit heavier decent for short/mediumm range

I'm on the fox submerge braid in 55lb I think it was, floats like a mofo.
Will be changing it for next year.

I've got 3 spools with the Fox Submerge (ironic name, given it floats like a .....) & another 3 with the Korda Sub Braid (which although slightly discoloured after 1 season of use, is far better IMO & sinks like a brick)

I can highly recommend the following:
Neutral braid - Power Pro 50lb (0.36)
Sinking braid - Hydro Sink 22lb (0.35)

Korda sub braid 15lb
Strong as any braid I have ever used and sinks, and can cast it 100 yards
Best braid I have used

Seconded. Used Sub-braid in 20lbs a lot over the past few years and cant rate it highly enough. The only negative is the colour fading.

Same here, great stuff, however can't find the 20 in stock hardly anywhere in the bulk spool, hope it's not been discontinued, was gutted last year when I couldn't get the nash stuff anymore, which was slightly better than the Korda,

Sufix 832 is one of the best braids available if you can get hold of it. About the only braid I've ever found that does it all, casts very well, sinks with a small degree of effort, keeps it colour and is strong for the stated diameters. Getting hold of it atm on the other hand is the hard bit

I understood that a lot of venues will not let you fish with braided main line or am I out of touch?

Many but not all. A lot of open access waters ban it because if used irresponsibly it can be a death trap.
Used safely its not an issue, and should in fact result in fewer lost fish or fish trailing line/tackle
