Having fished superbraids for several years, I've come to love it for spin casting spoons and spinners for its casting distance and being able to pull snagged lure free, but one place I've found it can be a disaster is jigging salmon.

Unless you can keep the line really tight on the reel , the line will dig in an get jammed on the spool. It is not a good situation when you need a smooth running spool and drag and there is a 30 lb. Chinook surging at the end of your line. After busting off five good Chinook in the Charlottes one morning when the line dug in and stuck, I was very thankful that Surecatch had a spool of 16 pound test mono in his bag.

After I changed line, the problem was solved and we had a forty fish c&r day with Chinooks from 18 to 50 lbs.

For halibut and ling cod its great stuff. Usually you are using heavier jigs which help keep the line tighter on the spool than a two to four ounce salmon jig.

Changing the subject, I've found that free spooling to the bottom, then reeling up very quickly is deadly on halibut and lings. If you don't get slammed in the first 30 feet of reeling, drop down and repeat the action. It can be deadly on salmon as well.
