17 or 20 Sufix, in the blue pack.

Read up on Power Pro and Sufix, I like both in the 15-30 lb range. More than that weight rangeand I perfer the Sufix.

Also there are some old post on braids, you might want to search them out.

It took me a while to switch to a braid line, but since I have I have become a believer.

20# Sufix - got 3 of our spinners spooled with new yesterday. Good stuff.

I like 20# Ande or Sufix. If you are having visibility problems then go with hi-vis yellow and you will for sure be able to see your line. I used to have a phobia about braid but I have used it for about 4 years now and won't go back, however I don't like powerpro any longer. Too many problems. I am going with Sufix performance braid from here on out.

I have probably 6 or 7 lite (not counting my 2 ultra lite) spinning rods, and have changed to braid due to the fact I hate the memory of mono. Have no memory with braid and casting is much easier and further. The rods are not expensive ones and have had to replace the tips. Braid will tear them up, but I can deal with it.

My favorite mono is suffix siege. It has low memory and is strong. I use 20 on my king rod, but I'd say go a little less for cigs.
