I decided to give excell a try from the reccomendations on this board and have found it to be a great bang for the buck. Low memory and pretty decent strength. I also like Big Game and have used it for years. I used to like Power Pro as a braided line untill they started making it different. Last spool I bought, the colored coating began flaking off and it wouldn't go through the eyes as smoothly. I'm thinking about trying Iron silk as I've read some good reports on it.
I have not tried power pro, but I have heard a lot of good things here about it. I have been using fireline since it came out and love it. I use it mainly on spinning reels, it casts well and has great strength to it. Great for probing brushpiles for crappie. I have never had any problems with it slipping on the spool. Loop it around your spool several times, tie a good knot, tighten your drag and put it on there as tight as you can.
I dont see anybody talking about Suffix lines. I have to say that i tried it out last year and was thoroughly impressed. Great strength and abrasion resistance, plus a low memory. Love the stuff. Just my 2 cents.
