Having struggled today with weed jamming my tapered leader knot in the top eye of my continental rod, I did some searching online and found some recommend braid straight through to address this issue. I'm fishing cleanish ground and using a fixed spool, so no power casting. What strength braid would be appropriate and can anyone recommend brands?

Obviously don't want it to cost a fortune to spool a reel to give it a try.

I have used braid extensively for coarse fishing and love using it ,so am interested to give it a try in the sea.
