What are the thoughts on braided line for a new spinning rig for steelhead and salmon? I've never used it and have a new reel to rig. Seems logical for smaller with more strength. Anyone use it and found negative to that theory?

Am I not using the right braided decause mine seems to absorb water to me?

e.g 10# mono = XX# braided

I use braid a lot mainly for Sturgeon, Halibut & Salmon,when it first came out I tried to use it for fishing up river for Salmon & Steelhead my experience has been that it is very strong but it cuts off on rocks very easy.
