I use J Braid on my lure rods and never had a problem with it

If you're feeling flush then PowerPro is generally regarded pretty highly

I would say J Braid x8 as well but it is the same as the Korda spod braid that you had trouble with. It is a smoother finish which is what's good about it meaning you don't have to keep wetting it BUT, you do have to be careful with braid to braid knots, from memory I used a Mahin with 10 down and 6 back and leave half inch tag ends, that stopped any slipping. As suggested you could go heavier straight through.

Another vote for Spectra. I use an Arma kord leader with it.
