why cant u get the red powerpro
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
Top 100 Contributor
A:
red powerpro is available, but BPS doesn't stock it due to very low demandDetails:
I need 5-10 pound test spectra that is rough, either mono or braided. I believe the braided, which I have not seen, might be what I need. This is for hairing a cello bow as a replacement for horsehair. The roughness, which in horsehair is created by the scaley surface, serves to hold the rosin. Current synthetic horsehair is neither strong nor rough enough to equal horsehair. Any comments? Thanks!Answers

A:
I have no idea what your talking about, but braid is tuff. 20 lb braid is as thin as 6 lb mono and you can check out the product at any baitshop. They have the fishing line 3" or so displayed on every package. You can check all of them out.The problem is braid is very smooth. Hope this helps.

Some of the braided lines when they first came out were rough try finding some older stuffImages for this Answer

I have landed 40" Pike on 20lb PP on multiple occasions.A:
it would depend what size you are using. i fish 30 and 50 a lot and have caught many a toothy saltwater fish without having the line cut.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
No, I've caught 2 sharks on the same line without trimming it and not leader. Their teeth were on the line but didn't bite through, they were 10 and 5lb. Bonnet head sharks with much larger teeth then pike. It is also difficult to cut the line with pliers. Though to be safe I would advise putting on a leader just in case because eventually the braid will fray and better safe then sorry.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Yup. A sharb edge will cut through braid line no problem brother. I like 15lb Fluorocarbon for pike. I dont need a leader and it holds up well.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
A big pike might have teeth sharp enough to bite through, but it is unlikely that it would be hooked in a way that the line would be near it's teeth. If you are worried about a bite off, just use a steel leader.Details:
i was thinking about spooling up my saltwater Ugly Stik with 20lb test.Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
It works awesome. Just watch your fingers when a fish takes the drag or you will get cut.A:
it all works the sameA:
Awesome. I have at least 5 spinning reels spooled with it right now, more on casting reels.A:
works great--i use it all the time on exactly the same rig for salt water fishing
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
I spooled my spinning combo with 20 lbs. test Power Pro and caught Red fish and Snook no problem. I would recommend a stronger leader line for Snook as they are prone to slice line with their gill plates. Good Luck!

A:
Yes it cast well on a spinning reel I use 10 lb test. Lighter line will obviously work better on a spinning reel.Details:
I want to put 20lb test braid on my VanDam series spinning rod, but how do I tie on the mono for the best strenth. Also can i tie on say 10ft of it on without messing up my cast?Answers
A:
the best know to use when trying mono to braid is the uni to uni knot. it is supper strong and does not slip. Tying on a 10ft leader kinda defeats the purpose of having braid on there. if i tie a leader on it is usually only 1to 2 feet or less.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Look up uni- knot onlineA:
you tube it
Top 50 Contributor
A:
I wouldn't recomend braided line on a spinning reel, but if you want to try searching "fishing knots".
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I use the Uni-Knot you can find many site on how to tie this. It slides right through your guides when casting. I would recomend using a no stretch leader depending on what you are doing. Like flourocarbon or Flouroclear which is also less visable...Details:
ok im pretty new to fishing but my spool holds 200 yards of line and the line only comes in 100 yd spools so how can i connect them without messing up the cast.Answers
A:
A DOUBLE UNI KNOT WORKS WELL AND IT ISNT THAT DIFFICULT TO TIE YOU CAN FIND VIDOES ON YOUTUBE THAT WILL HELP ALSO
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Look up uni- knot onlineA:
take the old line off and put all new line onA:
Google a double uni knot.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I reccomend buy the larger spool of line, but you can use the Uni-Knot. Look it up on the internet....
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
You'll want to tie on monofiliment backing to your spool, and fill the spool halfway up. Note that "halfway" is not halfway from the spool to the rim, as you always want to leave 1/8" of metal showing around the rim.Then, try the braid to the mono using a double-uni knot. Google that knot and you will find several illustrations on how to tie it. Very durable and easy to tie. Good luck!

ok i want to put this line on one of my spinning rods. is it possible to put 10 feet of mono leader on it ? also how would i tie it on to not mess with casting ?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
I tie on Flouro as a leader when walleye fishing. I would recommend a uni / uni knot - which can be found on Knot Wars.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
It is possible use a uni- knot. Look it up online it's hard to explain without pictures. It works well just test the knot by pulling on it to make sure you did it right.A:
i do not use on spinning reels. but my partner does, you can tie on a leader with a blood knot, it slides thru the guides well.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Yes...just tie a double-uni knot. Very easy to tie and very durable. Just google the knot and there are several websites that will show illustrations on how to tie it! Good luck!Details:

if i get 20 lb power pro, what pound test backing should i use and what mono is good for backing?
Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
I usually use 14lb or 15lb mono backing on most of my reels. Its really up to you, but look at it this way...if you had a fish big enough to spool your reel beyond your braided line, what do you want backing it up? Good luck!
Top 500 Contributor
A:
try to use the same diameter mono as the braid diameter is, as for what kind, i usually use the cheapest stuff i can find as long as theres no chance of the fish stripping off all the braid.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
20 lb. test Power Pro Strength = 6 lb. Monofilament Diameter = you should you a 6lb test mono backing100 lb. test PowerPro Strength = 20 lb. Monofilament Diameter = you should you a 20lb test mono backing

Top 500 Contributor
A:
Yes, it does come in white, just reference Power Pro's web site under freshwater Hi/Vis lines applications. and there you will find it.
Top 100 Contributor
A:
No just Green red and yellow...Fire line Crystal is a great line and the color is white hence crystal...Arou the same price also!
