I hate braid....I only use it on my dedicated redfish pole because of shoulder injury...Better hookset because of no stretch...Other than that 14# original stren....I lost a lot of big trout on braid because they got ripped close to the boat....No stretch "shock" in the line....I'd use 12# stren but where I fish there's lots of oysters so 14 is more abrasion resistant...My grandson pulled in his first red , 12# on a perch pole with 8#stren...I had both my wrist operated on a couple years before and pulled a limit of reds , drum , and trout with the same pole....That is not for the weak of heart....
