just prepping for exmouth and i am need of replacing some of my lines
i am in need of a good quality braid that i will be running on my saltist ld40, wanting 50lb. It will primarily be used for bottom bashing and heavy jigging

J-Braid
I'm really happy with J-braid x8 multicolour... I Run 80, 50 & 20 on 10k, 8k & 4k.
Only really used cheap/average braid previously and this is miles better. 500m spools (off the shelf) also make it economical to do a couple of reels without spending a fortune on bulk spools.

suffix 832 is pretty good. But if you have time to order jerry brown, ygk, tasline and varivas are higher rated lines.

Tasline
Tasline is pretty good for an all rounder
I use Ocea for jigging only.

Daiwa boat braid
I use Daiwa Boat braid, cannot think of a time it has snapped without me wanting it to.
I get heaps of line on it, and have PE4 55lb reel of it on hand for anytime to respool. I like the coloured depth markers as well.
I only hear good things about tasline too.

We stock a good selection of braid including Daiwa/Ocea/Gosen/Fins etc
One of our favourites for us staff (plus the shop owner Ryan Thipthorp) is Berkley Whiplash. It's thin, strong, reliable and we sell that per metre off the bulk spool.

I bought a combo from the downrigger shop. It has colour change braid prespooled. Seems pretty good so far. They sell it in 1000m rolls really cheap and include a line counter free. Worth a look...

I've been using Fireline Exceed of late, it's a little stiffer than normal firelines and I don't mind that.

Budget
Plenty of choices out there.
I currently run Gosen PE3-42lb, Ocea PE2.5, was 50lb but since revised to 40lb average breaking strain from Shimano I believe, all multi coloured so good for jigging different depths.
Recently purchased Tasline all white PE4 on my primarily used bottom basher Z30, rated 50lb but tested @ 72lb breaking strain. This stuff is tough, not colour coded but if you are just dropping straight to the bottom, not needed.
Not cheap but quality line.
IMO I reckon out of those 3 I rate Gosen at the bottom, not that it is bad. It is pretty much exactly what it is rated at, it's just that the others are also rated at what I have mentioned above, for potentially better prices depending on your budget.
