Rated 5 out of 5Â by Brooks Great product!
It took a heartbreaking breakoff with mono line at Choke Canyon to solidify my switch over to braid. I just didn't want to spend the little bit of extra money on the PowerPro, but that big fish pushed me off the fence.
I see some negative comments about PP on here, and I think that the backlashing and knotting issues are due to the reel settings and the size of line being used.
On most baitcasters, you need to use 40-60 lb PowerPro, which has about the diameter of 12lb monofiliment. Spinning reels should have 15-30 lb PowerPro. Using PP thats too thin on a baitcaster will cause backlashes with more knots.
However, when paired correctly with your reel, PowerPro actually causes LESS backlashes than mono. I have taught many of my friends to cast a baitcaster, and they always do better with my reels that have 50lb PowerPro.
As for the quality, it is second to none! I used to change out my 14lb Trilene mono at least three times a year as it would get frayed and stretched down here in South Texas. With PowerPro, I only have to change my line every 3 or 4 years!
Therefore, you might pay more for a spool of PP, but its MUCH cheaper in the long-run!

I am an old school fisherman, and it took me a long time to switch over to a braided line,....too long. 40 and 50 lb is great for shallow lite tackle coast fishing with a mono or flouro leader.

The line itself is a solid product. I use the 15lb test with my spinning outfit. I've been able to pull 20 foot branches from the pond I fish due to a bad snag. So the line test is great. However I've had more issue with this line getting tangled then any other line I use. Braid, Flouro, or Mono on both Baitcasters and Spinning. I switched to back Spider Wire. Maybe I'll go for a heavier test next time. Meh. . . .

Just about a year ago I switched to Power Pro braid. Setting up the 50lb test on my spinning combo that I use for both Bass, and when throwing artificial in the Indian river. Can get snagged up with out worrying about line breaking( if you fish in Vero Beach under the 60 bridge you know where you get snagged. ) have caught my fair share of Bass, a pike, a few channel cats, and some trout and snappers on this line. Even spooled some on my new Bass pro mega cast baitcaster for when I can get it out onto the water. Will purchase this line again and again.. Might even get some to spool on my new 6'6 quantum Triax combo when the 6lb spider wife ex mono I got with it for Christmas starts to run low.. Also attached is a picture of the Southern Pike I caught on this line

braided is always harder on bait casting reels than mono.. If you were going to put braided on a bait caster, i would go with power pro

I'm looking at buying the 15lb test because its diameter is similar to the 4lb test i have on my setup. BUT will it throw my smaller lures? for example a small Blue Fox Vibrax.Answers
Top 10 Contributor
A:Â
I would recommend 10lbs the 15lbs will work but the 10lbs would cast alot better
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
in my opinion, if you can cast lighter baits with 4lb, you should be able to cast with 15lb braided no problem, you should actually get some distance out of your casts since braided has no stretch. they do make 10 lb braided as well if you are not satisfied with your casting or are really worried about it.Details:Â
Thinking about spooling up a reel with some braided line? Im looking to spend less than $30 and think I will go from 15 lbs. up to 30. What is the best line and a good color?Answers
A:Â
Green works for me. A lot of the water in my area is tinted green or stained. Read the reviews and make you decision. Braid lasts a long time....A:Â
Power Pro for sure. Moss green is a great all-around color.Answers
A:Â
I have been using 40 and 50 lb PowerPro on my Castaic and 5500 level wind bait casters, with a mono leader tied on correctly. They cast great, but you may have to adjust your spool tension a little. Heavier power pro is good for yellows. Try it you'll like it, and it isn't too expensive considering how tough, and how long it lasts. good luck.A:Â
Yes, Braid in salt water. I use 10-30lb when shallow bay fishing and 65-80 offshore. Probably all braids are good, its up to you to purchase the line with the qualities that matter most to you.I would like to try the new Tuff line supercast but cannot justify replacing good line ...A:Â
Works great in saltwater,just rinse well after use just like your reels.

Yes this will work for Saltwater. My step father uses Power Pro for tuna fishing and he has had no problems.Details:Â
I have a 7ft heavy rod with a extra fast tip it is a casting setup for frogs and soft plastics what pound test rating should i use. All answers are appreciated. Thanks Tightlines!Answers
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
I use 15lb on my spinning gear and 50 on my bait caster, i use the bait caster for heavy cover. i would use 50 or more depending on the cover.A:Â
I prefer the lighter side even though its heavy fishing, say 40-50lb. But even higher would be fine.
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
For frogs and flipping weighted soft plastic, I would recommend 65-80lb test. For weightless soft plastic I would not recommend going higher than 50lb test.A:Â
since you have a 7ft heavy i would definitely use 50 to 60lb braid
Top 50 Contributor
A:Â
I usually use a minimum of 50 lb Power Pro. Can't go wrong.A:Â
50lbsAnswers
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
you can but the rod will probably break before the line did if you pulled it to breaking strength. I use that kind of braided on a heavy rod.
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
All I use on baitcasting rods is 40 and 50 pound. 65 pound braid for my dedicated frog rod.Now for spinning I wont go higher than 20 pound.
Top 50 Contributor
A:Â
Yes, but the real question is what will you be throwing and around what ytpe of cover?
Top 50 Contributor
A:Â
You can, however you want to make sure that the action isn't an extra fast. If you have too little action in the tip you can run the risk of breaking the top on a hard hookset, although I've never encountered this problem, I have heard of it happeningDetails:Â
why cant u get the red powerproAnswers
A:Â
red color only comes in the original power pro...not the slick version.A:Â
power pro is mainly a saltwater brand. If you use to much red, it will scare away the fish
Top 50 Contributor
A:Â
red powerpro is available, but BPS doesn't stock it due to very low demandDetails:Â
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

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

a pike can bite through the line, if you use higher lb test, that can help but not guarantee. Use at least 80 lb and if it is a long fight, you can still lose the fish.A:Â
Depends on the size of the line but if u use a steel leader or even a very heavy mono leader u shouldn't have to worry about it butting thru itImages for this Answer

I have landed 40" Pike on 20lb PP on multiple occasions.A:Â
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:Â
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:Â
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:Â
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:Â

It works awesome. Just watch your fingers when a fish takes the drag or you will get cut.A:Â
it all works the sameA:Â
Awesome. I have at least 5 spinning reels spooled with it right now, more on casting reels.A:Â
works great--i use it all the time on exactly the same rig for salt water fishingA:Â
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!
