I use Fireline(similar to braided) I've used the same line of for 3 yrs. Doesn't fray like braided, only broke maybe 3-5 five times. I use it for everything, pike, bass, spinnerbait, crankbait, soft plastics. Definately worth a try.
Get the new fireline tracer braid. strong, very abrasive resistant (even against pike teeth) and cuts wonderfully through weeds. also great for shorefishing, easy to see against waves and wind
