I use PP 10/2 on my 7' Bionic Blade, which has ceramic insert guides, and it doesn't make much noise ... even though the line is a few years old and the "coating" has long worn off.

I did try it on some other rods, but the noise was too annoying. Those rods had metal guides.

Every TV angler I've ever seen, that uses braid, must not be as annoyed by the ssssszzzzzz sound braid makes coming through the guides .... as you or I ... since you don't even have to hear them advertise that they're using braid, to know they are ... LOL !!!
