What braid do yall use? I have PowerPro on my saltwater reels, but I didn't know if yall had a specific brand that yall favored.

Was thinking of trying the Excel stuff myself.
I have used both PP and Suffix. I have no complaints on either.

I suppose that makes me somewhat of an anomaly in today's bass fishing world.
I don't know why, really. I've just never had a problem with mono and it is a heck of a lot cheaper and easier to deal with (I can bite it with my teeth).
I did use a borrowed flippin' stick once during a tournament back in the day that was spooled with kevlar line (anybody remember that precursor to modern braids?). I hated the stuff. It was stiff and unruly and didn't appear to have any higher breaking strength than mono of the same diameter. It also floated and looked like a glowing key lime green rope.
