Yep, spot on.
Power Pro is simply the best. Whiplash is too frail, good for casting but has terrible abrasion resistance.

I use the 30lb on centrepins and small fixed spools, great line
Have pp from 30-100lb over various reels, it is a bit industrial but holds up well

power pro, power pro, power pro, power pro
as mentioned, I have tried load and loads of different braids over the years to see if there's anything better and keep coming back to it.
in 30lb it has a diameter of 0.28 which is the equivalent of 8lb line.
there are some finer braids - whiplash for example - which has a looser weave but as soon as it gets in contact with anything it has a habit of fraying, weakening and snapping.

Berkley cb2000 connect 35lb straight through to a short leader of your choice, neutral buoyancy, thin, casts an absolute dream and strong as an ox. Thats how I got best distances if your not worried about heavy sinking. It is also not too expensive. Berkleys lines are fantastic!

30lb will do the job for you. I would definitely use a leader or tubing of some sort to protect the fish if fishing weedy waters though.

Out of all these braids which is best for maximum range casting as a mainline in a moderately weedy but snag free lake ?

Maybe ok casting a lure but trying to bang a 4oz lead 100 yards.....................I'd wet it 
@ Bradders
I use the 20lb (0.16) with a leader for longer range work (as far as I can tell it's exactly the same as the Korda stuff) with that diameter hitting the clip hard with a heavy spomb at shorter range isn't a good idea so the 40lb should be perfect.
@colors
I would say at least the 50lb stuff (0.36), if you buy it in the UK it may have a different BS rating so buy by diameter

Me neither. No need to wet it at all and I've been using braid for all my lure fishing since the mid 90's.

I have never had any issues with not wetting them before casting. Most important thing with braid is slightly under filling the spool. I’ve never had a wind knot since I started doing that.

As with all 4 carrier braids it is prudent to wet them before casting, the 8 carriers not so much but then they aren't as tough therefore better for the spod rod
