I normally use Western Filament, I guess most folks call it TufLine. They have a new one that roughly translates to the slick, its Super Cast. So far it's been great, the version before just sucked but they pulled it after about 4 months. And the old standard is the TufLine XP. I've never had any problems with it at all, shedding or flaking or any of that weird crap I've had from Power P.

Naw, they still make lead core. They're one of the oldest aramid fiber producers in the US. I've bought miles of filament for composite structures from them.

not the lead core, the hevi core braid came in a green box and it was supposed to have a fluorocarbon core i think to make it a sinking braid rather than a standard floating braid,
