Amen..this is why I always ask what kind of reel is particuliar line going on. Different line acts differently....epecially when using a spinning rod to bump or flip a worm with a curly tail. Most mono line works great for me on a spinning reel.Trilene never fails me {Unless flipping a worm} then it is twist city. Therefore I have different rods for different lures. Stren Super Braid on my 2 worm rods and mono on the spinning.
I HATE VANISH!! even on a spinning rod. When I use vanish on an ultra light or light rod the line continues to uncoil off well after the lure has hit th ewater. Trilene doesn't do that.
I just started using Super Braid this year. The only negative is you have to finesess this line. It can wrap around rod eyelets and twigs easier than any line I'e seen. It also bleaches out like spider wire. BUT it's very dependable and have not had a break off yet. I've pulled a few bass directly out of tangled up sticks and vines. It cast ok for braid according to the reel I guess.

Me too!!! problem is its flourocarbon even though berkley claims its manageble for all types of reels, its still flourocarbon and flourocarbon is honestly only good for leaders. I used it once on baitcaster in 12 lb test it was horrible back lash city I literally could not get a decent cast without back lashing. I stopped using it the remaining stuff I use for leaders. A few months later walmart was clearing the stuff out for 75 cents a spool so I bought all of the 4 lb test which was a dozen spools, I use the stuff exclusively for tipits and leaders for trout fishing.
