I was just wondering what everyone thinks is the best type of braid out on the market to use for striper fishing. All of the different types all claim to be the BEST type but imo one has got to be better than the others. Any personal preferences? if so what # test? Thanks

I commonly troll with anywhere from 120 to 150' of line out and was wondering what kind of line to use.
