Have some spooled with 30-40 lb power pro braided. That's more for when I'm targeting bull reds or bigger fish.
Mostly I use straight mono. Stren original 12 lb.

Trilene Big Game, 12#, period.

Power pro 20-30 # on all inshore spinning rods.
It's far superior to mono.

Power pro and be done with it. I see practicly no everyday situation where mono trumps the braid. Learn uni knot and you are set

I use 20 lb suffix 832 on my reels (shimano 3000 size) with a dbl uni knot to either a popping cork or a 2.5 foot 15 mono leader. I use mono leaders for my popping cork leader as well. MS & LA is dirty enough to where I don't think you need fluorocarbon leaders. Loved the suffix 832 so far

Trilene Big Game 10# on baitcasters
Power Pro 20# on spinning

Try to mix it up.
Put 30lb braid straight to the terminus on one reel.
Put 30lb braid plus a 3 foot leader of 12-17lb mono.
Then, put straight 12-17lb mono on yet another.
That's how I run mine and have been happy with it.
As far as brands I like PowerPro braid and Trilene Big Game.
This will handle all your inshore needs from big reds to specks and flounder.

I just rigged up for my trip to the gulf this fall going after reds and trout.
Used 14lb red cajun line on my baitcaster
12 & 15 Trilene Big Game for my spinning reel (2 spools)
All mono. Would have used braid if I had any.

Good luck with that cajun line
Posted on 7/16/14 at 8:27 pm to GeauxTime9
30# Power Pro Super Slick here... way over kill and will switch to lighter line when it goes bad in 6 years. 
I challenge all you SOB's at a wind knot tying competition.

Junk? I have never used it before, just had a spool and was giving it a try.

30# braid on everything and carry a spool of 20# mono and 20# floro for leaders. I tie on 6' leaders the night before I go fishing so I have extra to change tackle. Uni knot goes through micro eyes like butter.

8lb mono on spinner and 10lb mono on bait caster for trout. 30lb power pro on 4000 for big reds.

This is the setup I will prolly go with. I have plenty of mono line, so I will pick up some 20 or 30 power pro. How are y'all putting the leaders on ? Swivels or a double uni knot?

Uni-uni is the way to go unless you're fishing a Carolina rig
A swivel is just one more thing for a fish to see
