Well went out during the spring fishing classic and picked up some of the spiderwire floro-braid and thought that a sinking braid would be a great idea. But after a few casts I noticed that it looked like there was some areas where the coating was coming off when I inspected closer noticed that the braid was actually unraveling itself.
Anyone else hear of this happening? Or have any suggestions on a good braid to be using on a high quality spinning outfit? I have been using power pro for years and love it but want to try something new.

Braid has a lot of strength,but not very good with abrasion,so if you get a fish odds are you'll likely get it in but you must check for fraying.
If you rub against wood,rocks,or even fish teeth,you must cut and redo the knot. Hope this helps.
I've also been using gorilla and power pro with the same fraying problem with both.

I've also been using Powerpro for years. My fishing partner spooled up with Sufix 832 and loves it. I took a couple casts with it and it feels pretty good.

I have used PowerPro, Daiwa Samurai and Sufix Performance. All are good, but I currently use Sufix Performance due to the combination of colour availability, performance and price. All are good, however. I am planning on trying Sufix 832 when a hi-vis becomes available.

My partner also spooled up with 832 but has yet to try it as for me I'm spooling up with power pro and I bought a second spool and it's getting loaded with berkley profesional florocarbon.
