At present i have 2 dzen different braids from cheap to expensive..in the fireline i use crystal with good results on the bream,the 6lb super pe braided dyneema line is my personal fav . Stren micrcofuse 2lb no problems with windknotts and under 40 bucks is another worth trying...also using 6lb finns on lightsnapper setup,had this line on about 2 years without any probs.the theory don,t fix something that isn't broke is good.but trying something different is probably why you started using fireline.
