Surf fishing braid recommendation

[Cortinaboy]

Hi all, I am replacing all lines on my reels. I have the smaller reels for bream sorted, but I need to replace some aging 10lb fins on a stradic cI4 that I use with a seajigger to cast 30g metal lures at the beach to catch salmon. Am wanting to upgrade the line. Am tossing up between Saltiga surf ( expensive), fire line exceed (I like the Orange for visibility), varivas Avani casting, and diawa tournament 8 accudepth, and perhaps castaway. I haven't tried any of them so am just going on reputation and online reviews.

What I want is a nice casting line of about 15lb breaking strain, preferably highly visible and something that comes in 300m spools (125/150m seems a little on the short side). Rod is a Seajigger. Would be great to hear recommendations from those who have experience in this area.

i use 24lb Unitika Super PE Light Jigging for my bigger 40gram on a 11fot seabass and heavier slugs and 10lb and 15lb sunline for 20gram to 35gram on a 8 fot 6" seabass

Varivas Avani Sea Bass is very good line for piffling metals at salmon. I've been running that in 12, 16, & 18lb for quite a while now and it has been very good. However I don't think it comes in 300 m spools in the finer diameters.
I'm also a big fan of Sunline super and have got 10lb in a 300m spool which I used to fill a 2500 Stella FD when it was brand new. Pretty much only been used in the salt to cast lures and still going strong.
I will be looking out for the new Sunline Super 8 weave and keen to give that a try.
Cheers Paul

Castaway for me in that situation. It's easy casting and is more forgiving like mono in terms of tangles, windknots, etc. Quite visible at night too.

Other 8 braids may require more care as they are very limp and have a larger chance of wind knotting. If you always make sure your line is wound tight before every cast and retrieve, go for those slick braids and achieve the best casting distance.
