Biased as a sponsored angler, Gosen Casting Braid - 8 carrier super smooth and strong. 0.6PE at 14lb. Honestly a fantastic braid.

I've been using fireline exceed for the past couple of years and have just tried sunline super pe8 (the orange one) in 8lb. It is super smooth, casts really well and feels as thin as the exceed in 3.3lb. Around $40 - $45 a spool of 150m.

Any of the 8 strand braids will feel amazing to you if you have been using fireline for 2 years.

Another one for YGK. I've used the G soul / Jigman etc and its a stunning braid, but by far the ducks nuts for me is the OH Dragon in 0.6. Smoothest silkiest strongest i've encountered. Got it on most of my light setups. The other i'm trialling now that's got a bit more beef is the varivas avani seabass. Also a cracker braid and a bit better round rough structure.

You won't be disappointed mate it's the best!
I've got it on 3 reels, Pe.6 is amazing for breaming and I have Pe 1 for snapper beach etc.
Thin stuff too.

It's a tiny bit stiff at first but it never gets that fluffy wear near your leader.
