Hey there BFFG,
I've tried almost all of the new lines in the last few months! The braids are no good on the open-party boats (tangle trouble with mono) but some of the co-polymers and the fluorocarbons work great.
I just happen to put some 20 pound Izor line 'platinum', which is a dark green color, on a calcutta 400 and found it to be great for the 20 pound yellows. Low stretch, good abrasion resistance and high tensil strength (I'd say 30 pound!!!) made it a joy to use.
Izor is a local California product and one of the first manufactures of line specifically for our so cal waters and fish species! Line choice is often depends on the species your fishing for in my book.
But if your float tubing too you might consider another reel to use with the braids as you're not going to tangle anybody and they do have low water visibility, superior strength, less stretch and good abrasion resistance.
