Not have used braid for mainline in a few years. What recommendations are out there?

I got this because a lot of people recommend it.. It is really good, but thick, I can only cast 22 wraps, the new version is 25lb but I haven't tried that yet. 🙂
Ps.. It sinks really well.

The Avid stuff is very good and so is the new Fox Naturals stuff, I used the 45lb, the Fox stuff casts a bit better but they box sink well and are very strong. I preferred the Fox stuff personally but would have no problem using either.

22lb Gardner Hydro Sink has worked well for me.
Are you sure?
