But I prefer braid when fishing lakes with lots of timber and lily pads, esp. when fishing buzz baits and frogs.
Seems like the more I fish the more specialized I become....

Been having issues with the Sunline Machinegun, so thought I'd mention it just in case someone else considers getting this line. Line memory has still been an issue, but then I had a Sammy 100 break off on the cast, twice. Luckily the lure landed in the water so I could retrieve it, not high up in a tree.And then had a sammy break off with two smallies on at the same time. I saw the bigger one break free, and then the other ducked under a rock, never saw it again. Feel bad about leaving a lure in a basses lips. Switched over to McCoy Xtra clear, and problem solved.
