I'm with Scott on this one, it depends on brand and type for sure... What you say doesn't sound like my experience at all and I use a lot of braid... I personally don't use braid in the really light weight size, I prefer the 20-30 lb size and I love Power Pro myself... Not so much for casting distance, but for strength and durability and longevity... It is soooooo much better than mono for these characteristics... I've never noticed an issue with floating, but I've used it so much and so long, that I'm probably just used to it... The tangling and knots you mentioned sounds like your using nanofil, which Scott likes, me not so much, but it does cast like crazy distances, but to me it has some bad behaviors.... If you want brute strength and long lasting line go for the Power pro and Walmart sells it about $5 cheaper per spool than all the other stores... Just my take and I love braid... Later Jeff
