It isn't cheap but Gamma edge FC works great. I have had one knot fail in 3 years. I had line break mid-cast 1 time but will share that that 12# line had landed at least 150 fish that week and was probably damaged from all the use.

I have not stayed with Gamma because of reliability. I have stayed with it because it is the most sensitive line that I have fished other then a braid. In many instances, I prefer it over braid. The reliabiity on top of sensitivity is why I have stayed. I tried the BPS FC in a 17# and it worked fine then I had a knot breakoff near the hook that spooked me and went back to Gamma.

Before I found Gamma, I had the misfortune of knowing Vanish and Triplefish. The vanish was complete xyz and the Triplefish just above it.

I also fish alot of Pline Floroclear and Yozuri Hybrid. Both good lines, neither is real FC and both has quite a bit of stretch. I use this line for moving baits and use mostly Yozuri now because I have purchased it so cheap. Nice line but does not compare to Gamma FC for feel.

I've posted this several times but you can take a Gloomis 783 GLX and the same rod in IMX. Put Gamma FC on the IMX and Yozuri on the GLX and the IMX/Gamma rod will be more sensitive to the GLX in a blind test and by a big amount. Line really matters.

Braid of course is very sensitive and I use it in Florida but find it not so good at KYL with all the rocks.

I suggest you buy a few spools of several FC's in 16# and do a few tests. First, tie a hook on and attach the hook to some weights and very slowly lift the weights off the floor. Note where the lines breaks and with how much weight. If you don't like the way a FC performs in your house you will not like it on the water. Vanish FC taught me to always test my lines at home Next, fish the FC's side by side with a bottom bouncing crank or worm. Now you are ready to pick what you like and see how it holds up over time. When it has held true for 2 years, let us know what you picked
