Its interesting that you use that Avani Sea Bass stuff, I just got a case of it from Japan, it is very very thin and super smooth, in fact I am a bit worried that its a bit too thin for getting in amoungst the reef when using sofies etc. I only got 6 spools so its not the end of the world if I got it wrong. I personally use Powershot in 15lb, I have tried a few braids for softies, I even gave whiplash 20lb a go but it was a nightmare, maybe it was me not being used to it though. Like all braids I personally think you need to underfil the spool a bit more than usual and some thing I did last week in Ireland was every time I moved location, every ten mins or so I would reel my last cast in through my finger and thumb to put the line on a bit tighter.
As for clips, you are right the JB is a nightmare, so is any crosslock link, I only use Duolock for my softies now, they go through every single eyelet.
Here is a Flashmer Duolock, they are better than the Quantum ones as they last, the Quantum ones I throw away after one trip, they are cheap enough to do this anyway but the Flashmer ones are the same price..... what ever.....they are both sound....
