CB, i use 20 lb power pro on some older allstar rods. I haven't had the braid cut into any of my eyelets. I use the spinning when its windy or if i am fishing a double rig under a cork. Other than that I am using a baitcaster.
there is a casting technique i use and can cast a mile with the spinning rig and not have the double rig wrap up around the cork.
the looped line will be a problem no matter what size braid you use on a spinning reel. it happens when you reel slack line. If you hold tension on the line when reeling slack it will not happen. it also helps to occasionally make a long cast, hold tension and reel in.
a novice with a spinning reel and braid will eventually loop.
I like the braid because of durability and fish for reds and specs with the same rig. it just takes a bit longer to get a bull red or a 25 lb drum in. The braid coupled with the leaders I make, I don't have to worry about the line breaking.
