I use 120lb braided  on my sturgeon setups
mono on my ocean  downrigger rods
everything else gets the flyrod

I use braid line for Bar fishing in the Fraser river and used it in ocean for jigging bottom fishes. Works great.

Fraser fishing, sturgeon, halibut, and spoon fishing (in certain places)

One thing I noticed is that braided line frays a lot when using float stoppers with wire catches .. and almost impossible to stop line from bunching up at these stoppers.

i got it on my bar rods, sturgeon set ups.  and on the flipping stick but I will stick with the mono/fluorocarbon for all other fishing applications

Been using braid since the '09 pink run and love it. Im running Power Pro 65ib. for ocean, Fraser, Stave including the Vedder/ and have had success including landing 2 steelies this year! Here are the pros and cons:

Pro:
-smaller diameter
-strength and durability
-highly visible(us)
-easier to fix birds nest than mono(IMO)
-no memory
-no stretch

Cons:
-snags(due to strength, it can be a
Hindrance especially if you have to cut line)
-slowly wrecks the guides
-slowly wrecks the reel
-highly visible(fish)
-pricey

New technology should have these braided lines improve drastically visibility issues. If you do end up lining with braid, use 30ibs and up and have the tackle shop line it for you. Might be cheaper than purchasing 300yard spools. I've been using Power pro main and 12-20ibs fluorocarbon leader depending on the situation and will stick with it with most applications for recreational game fishing with gear...

Hope it somewhat helps. Fish on & tight lines!
