Things I've learned about braid, it wraps around eye of pole in windy conditions but it is very sensitive and you feel bites better, I like a palomar knot it doesn't get caught in slit in eye. I think I need to switch to smaller diameter for fishing deep water and you should have your drag looser than you would when fishing mono. Hope this helps and I prefer Power Pro over Spiderwire.
