Cortland C16 Super Braid is an outstanding choice.
Cortland deliver exceptional quality. The C16 Super Braid offers outstanding strength, durability, and virtually zero memory, making it one of the best options on the market. I have used it successfully on fish exceeding 200 pounds, where it performed flawlessly under heavy pressure and inspired complete confidence.
A standout feature is its 16 gel-spun fibers construction, which allows fluorocarbon to be seamlessly inserted into the hollow core. The result is a smooth, knot-free connection with excellent strength and reliability. ......If you are looking for premium fishing line and are willing to invest in quality, Cortland C16 Super Braid is an outstanding choice.

C16 60lb
This is the second spool of C16 I have used, 100 & 60lb. By far the best hollow braid I have fished, and I have used may. It's consistent, void of any flaws and fishes amazing.
