I use Fins and they have a product in their line called WINDTAMER which is supposed to reduce backlashing.

I think it helps some and for what ever reason, when you do get a backlash, it seems easier to work out then mono or other braids I've used.

It certainly does last a lot longer then mono and it does not suffer from line memory and twist like mono does. If you get a really nasty backlash with mono that particular area of the line get curlys and can inhibit for casting and cause more backlashes, so I would say it's better for bait casting reels.

Not sure why braid has not caught on as much in the freshwater like it has in the saltwater. I think it might have to do with the visability of braid compared to mono. I'm sure others have their opinions and will chime in here.
