Have only ever used
Have only ever used Fireline, PRT and YGK Jigman, if your fishing threadline I use the PRT or Jigman. Dunno about the Sensor braid but I've heard good things.

the brand is ygk! its a
the brand is ygk!
its a japanese PE line...
being braid there are different types - 8 ply and 4 ply mostly...
8 ply being better and smoother cost alot more, for instance ultra jigman or varivas tuna pe 8 breaking strain is 113lb! Contrary to similar diameter line will ahve a breaking strain of 80lb...
obviously different line manufacture have breaking strain varies - and the numbers i gave are u jsut an estimate.
you can get multicoloured line which tells you how much line you have out...which you wont get in the TD sensor or fins!

all depends on how much you want to spend
i use td sensor sw 8 50 and 80lb had no problems but thats around $100 to $140
i use the standard td sensor in 50 and 20 lb but wasnt really happy with the knot strenght of the 20 lb (snapping at 8lb at the bimini)u can pick that up at about $70
ygk on the other hand is great braid but you pay for it about $140 to $170
havent used the finns so cant comment

Iam using 30lb and 50lb
Iam using 30lb and 50lb bionic braid. Nice and limp with no memory. I have used the fins prt in 20lb on baitcast and spin and have had it break for no reason. In a section of line( not from abrasion, didnt break at the knot). Went the 20lb fireline instead. Takes a bit of wearing in but nice to use
FEEEISH ONNN!!!
