Trileane 50lb 12 lb test dia Braid.
Is it 50 or 12?
I've found that very light (less than 20#) braid tangles very easily. Kinda like fishing with thread.
I use 20# Powerpro. Works for me. All salt fishing though.
Breaking off is rare, but fish with teeth can cut it.
Supposedly you need to use a palomar knot, else it may cut itself.
ETA: You will immediately notice the increased sensitivity, because it doesn't stretch like braid.

I'd think 50lb test is overkill unless you will be fishing a lot of weeds or brush.
30lbs is more than enough on most all occasions.
Also use a 3-5 ft flouro leader in 25-30 lbs test if the water is clear.

This for sure which is great for winter fishing due to lite bites. I wouldn't use it is spring/summer fishing. You will pull the hooks more often at that time of the year,
Also, what rod you are using? The braided line will cut the eyes over time if you are using a cheap rod.
