Braid
I use braided line quiet a bit for bass fishing. Flipping heavy cover braid is great, line of choice unless bit slows then I go to fluorocarbon 20-25lbs. Braid also works well on top water because line does not sink, less drag when setting the hook. Smaller diamator braid is easier to cast but if you use it say with bigger hooks 5/0, anything under 40lb braid can slip threw the gap in the eye of the hook. Use super glue to eleminate this or double tie. Fished some down in Texas and boys fishing red fish use 20 powerpro with a 20 lb fluorocarbon leader. Found most braid cast well but prefer using Daiwa Samurai. Good thing with braid is it last a long time at least in fresh water, I do not personally use it for salt water. But yes it can dig into your spool if you have drag set to tight. Remeber braid does not streach so unless flipping you do not need to have your drag set as tight as when you are using mono or fluorocarbon.
