Rated 4 out of 5 by chazpraz Sold on this braid
I use this for just about everything. It took me a while to figure out how to keep backlashes to a minimum. Keep your drag light and I put a piece of electrical tape on the spool just past my longest cast. If the fish runs with the bait, the tape comes off to give extra length but meanwhile it confines backlashes to only part of the spooled line. I've tried more expensive braids but this performs consitantly and well so it's my primary line now. It's very easy to watch the line when fishing jigs or when the bite is the pick ups and move off variety. I can feel structure and bites better than mono.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sheaff217 Great all around line
I love this line! I use the 65 pound on my Musky rods and will probably swich to 80 pound this summer and fall. I also use 20 pound for my bass rods. I have yet to be dissapointed by this line. The senativity is also amazing and it makes switching back to mono just about impossible. You dont realize how much your mono stretches untill you try this!!! Thanks PowerPro!

Rated 5 out of 5 by wackywormer good stuff
I have used power pro for several years. Never had a breakoff and casts well. Ordered the hi vis yellow for worm fishing, much easier to see the line move when bass pick up the bait.

I fish small rivers for smallmouth using an ultra light spinning outfit and I was wondering if this would work better than mono. I usually use 4 pound mono but it breaks a lot due to jagged rocks and I was hoping for a more abrasion resistant line that doesn't sacrifice casting ability
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:
this is your line to use then. I use it in pads, under stumps, and the line, un like mono, reels up real nice.
A:
i use 15lb braid and never had a breakoff, sure you could go down to 10 lb and still be goodA:
Yes, but you might want to use a fluorocarbon leader tied with a double surgeons knot or an Albright .A:
This braid will work fine to replace the mono. I use 10lb in place of 4lb mono for crappie and I believe I can "feel" the bite much better plus I don't loose as many jigs because the braid is strong enough to bend a light wire jig hook without breaking. This braid will loose it's color quite quickly but otherwise it is great.A:
I think the line is much more durable than mono. Casting is just as smooth
Top 500 Contributor
A:
get a 20# braid (6lb mono diamter equivilent) or smaller, and you can't go wrong. I would think in a creek/river that had some flow, the water won't be super clear. This line is very abrasion resistent. If the water you are fishing is super clear, maybe use a 12" 6lb fluoro leader.
Top 25 Contributor
A:
i have found that braided casts much farther than mono. also braided does not stretch so your reaction time is increased. as for abrasion, i have noticed a few times that when one of the strands does get nicked, you can see the fray and change it. i fish rivers as well but i used 15lb braided which i think is the diameter of 4lb mono. i have never lost a fish due to line breakage. (i even caught a 42" musky on 15lb braided)
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Yes, but you will have to get used to using braided line. New users often complain that it wraps around the rod tip -- when wet it is much more flexible than fouorocarbon or mono.Details:
should i use the green or yellow line. i want the yellow for flipping and pitching but green for frogging. what should i get? but i can only use one color cause i only have 1 flipping/pitching/frogging rodAnswers
A:
I go with the green, its all I use except when running real deep.A:
I prefer moss green. It is less visible in the water.A:
I like green for all applications, it's invisible in the water especially around vegatationA:
green will blend into the water and the background of the water such as grass and laydownsA:
RudeBaits: I've always used green.A:
I prefer green. feel like it will reflect less light. sounds like you bass fish. I don't think much about my line. when bass are feeding, it's all about lure color and presentation.Answers
A:
Most of your braided lines are hard to handle some can even cut you. This line is smooth and can run it through your fingers without a scratch.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Means that it casts like mono. A lot of braid is sometimes stiff, doesn't cast well, doesn't knot well, etc. This is super limp, casts very well, and knots are strong (assuming you are using a knot specific to braid line, as you MUST use a knot different than what is used for mono)A:
by RudeBaits: handles like mono refers to how the line spools on and comes off the reel when casting. Power Pro is the best braid. It's the only braid I use.A:
I think since it is relatively new, when people use this term, they mean that there isn't much difference in casting. I do a lot of bass fishing and pinpoint casting is critical. I was very comfortable first time off the spool.A:
it mean it cast as smooth as mono of the same size dia. but the pouand test it greater than monoA:
I personally feel that it handles just as good as any monofilliment line and is much better because it does not have any stretch to the line like mono. 20 LB line will cast just like you are using 6LB monoDetails:
And oils you wanna use a leader at all is so Wat poundage n lengthAnswers
A:
I use 50 or 60 lb braid on A rigs and have no problems once I get the reel set up properly. I usually have to get to the back side if it hangs on wood but if I have to, I can usually muscle it off but pulling hard enough to bend the hung hook. The only time I've had to cut the line was when I threw over a limb and it did a triple wrap over the limb.A:
I would recommend 50 lb with a 50 lb leader about 10 to 12 inch length
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I would recommend at least 50# mono on an a-rig. Nothing less. No leader needed, just go straight braid.A:
Have never used a 'bama'. When casting rubber worms or lures, I use about a 24 inch flourocarbin leader for better hook sets.I would think 20 pound test for a 'bama' would be sufficient.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
I would use 65 to 80 lb for the Alabama Rig. Make sure you use a wide spool model baitcaster as casting distance will be longer versus a standard size reelDetails:
I just bought 300 yards of the green 20 pound line and i was wondering if 20 is to much and if the green works well
Answers
A:
Very good choice for bass fishing. If throwing crankbait or spinnerbait could even go down to 15 lbA:
I actually think for freshwater bass fishing 20 lb test is heavy. I use 10 and it does the job well. I use 20 for musky fishing
Top 500 Contributor
A:
20# is not too much. If anything, its a little light for bass fishing if you are in heavy stuff. 20#-30# is common for bass fishing, green works well, as does brown.A:
i have used 30lbs in texas and mexico and find that weight does very well so i'll say 20 should do u just fineA:
by RudeBaits: not sure what you're asking about 20lb being "too much" but you should select line based upon the reel you're putting it on and what type of fishing you plan on doing. Reels have suggested line size on them and 20lb is fine for fishing heavy cover or stained water where visibility is of no concern.A:
I prefer green. I use 20 pound on my salt water spinner for schoolie dolphins from 10 to 30 pounds.20 pound for bass will land anything that takes your lure.
A:
That is exactly the line and poundage I use except I purchase a bigger spool because I use it on all my reels including bait casters and spinning reels. I like the 20 LB because I can horse a monster bass out of the deep weeds without any problems. Try this line I am sure you be be as impressed with it as I am.A:
20 is definitely not too strong. i personally use 40. the problem is usually with the thickness of the line. don't go too thick or it will affect castabilityA:
The 20# will work great & you will see the first time you get hung up or in thick grass. Green is the only one that I would use in fresh waters. The 10# line works just as well.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
it all depends on what your fishing for and what type of cover you are fishing. I think 20lbs is a good line for the Big Bass when there is weed cover. I think you will like how good it performs.Mike

A:
I prefer green but I am starting to try the timber brown color for the power pro super slick 8 on a few reels. No real report on the color being any better.20lb power pro is fine for most bass applications. If you are fishing near timber or vegetation you will be happy you went with 20 and not 15. Some people go as heavy as 50 or 75 for bass in cover but that isn't the kind of fishing I personally do.
I like to tie a modified albright and use a two to three foot leader of fluorocarbon on my power pro. Some people think that is a saltwater only method but I think it helps with visibility. You can also use a 15lb flouro leader if you want a thinner line profile or a little more sport to your fight.
Either way, good decision, the 20lb diameter is thin and extremely sensitive. Your hook sets should also benefit from the braid's no stretch qualities also.
I hope this helps
Details:
I will be going to Florida next month and am trying to get my saltwater set up ready. usually we just go fish and not wory about line or anything which may be the reason we snap alot of lines. in the years since ive been learning more and more about fishing but only fish freshwater.So my question: can you just use a high lb. test mono. or fluro. line and get away with it, or would you suggest using a 30lb braided line and maybe a 6 foot mon. or fluro. leader with a lb. test heavier than the braided line?
again i will be doing mostly surf fishing or other places along shore.sorry if my question is confusing, ANY suggestions will help. Thanks.
Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
if you are going to be in open water, then I would just use fluoro. If you are going to be around structure, go with braid.A:
I had to make a lot of mistakes and follow a lot of suggestions too.My suggestion for surf would be to put the braid through a 3 - 5 ounce egg sinker. then tie on a barrel swivel. That will stop your sinker at the barrell. From the barrel, tie on about 4-5 feet of 50 pound flouro. then use a 2/0-4/0 bait hook. I like mustad for price. Braid has virtually no stretch. Very sesitive to bites. the flouro helps improve hook sets.everyone has their way of thinking. A med- heavy 7' rod will land most inshore fish.
A:
it's is alway better to use a few feets of mono, because braided line doesn't give so you might pull the hook out of the fish mouth before the hook is setA:
Use the 30# line in green & as far as a leader goes it all depends what you are fishing for. Just to be safe use a 1 foot steel leader just in case you hook a toothy critter.A:
I am not well versed in fishing salt water, but I would recommend going to at least 65 lb power pro. You have to understand that the 65 lb power pro has a diameter equal to 17 lb mono. It does not stretch like mono and only requires a mild hook set. With the 65 lb test, I would not use a leader. Use the palomar knot when tying hooks and lures. Good luckA:
I would splice it but that's what I prefer. And splicing it means start stringing your rod with equal lb test or higher mono or flouro then the braid for about 10-20 yards then tie the other line to the braid and string it all the way up and your done !A:
use 20-30 lb braid depending on if you fish flats or what. the sufix 832 is the best braid. and a 20-30 lb seaguar flouro leader depending on if you are fishing in flats or docksAnswers

I have this on my baitcaster (50#), and on my spinning reel (20#). Works well on both.A:
by RudeBaits: Power Pro works great on both spinning and conventional reels. I have it on both. It's the only braid I use. The one concern is when fighting bigger fish and applying drag, the line can work its way between remaining line on the spool so next cast may "catch" a bit. Happens more often with conventional reels than spinning. Great line for west coast bass fishing in the kelp.Images for this Answer
(click to see full-size image)
A:
I use it on both. 15 lb. on my bass spinner and bait caster. 30 lb. on my saltwater spinner. 30 lb. on my saltwater troller. when trolling there is no rod tip bounce like with momo. Trolling, I tie straight to lure. Casting fresh or bottom fishing salt, I use 50% higher lb. flouro leader.A:
The line is great for both as I use 20LB in all my fresh water reels. I use bait casters and spinning reels depending on which type of cover I am fishing.In deep cover then I use my bait caster and if I am finesse fishing I use my spinning reels.A:
I noticed that this brad when first start fishing tends to float, but when it starts to retain water it will sink better. so I top water fish at day brake & when the top water action is over my line is ready to go to the bottom with no problems.A:
It will work equally well with either type reelA:
I use this line on a baitcaster in 20lb test and am very pleased with its strength and ease of casting.A:
neither. power pro is garbage. sufix 832 is good any way you slice it
Top 500 Contributor
A:
In my opinion, braid is better on spinning reels. Better sensitivity, stonger, thinner and casts farther than mono and flourocarbon. Excellent for lighter lures and more subtle presentations. I always use a flourocarbon leader tied w/ a uni to uni knot. If you're used to mono, set your drag looser and ease up on your hook sets until you get used to braid.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
This type of braid can be used for both types of reels.I prefer braid on my saltwater spinning tackle because:
(1) it does not typically get twisted.
(2) Line memory is not an issue with braid, which also lends itself well to spinning reels.
(3) Braid has a small diameter and you can put a higher amount of line on than with mono. It is comforting to know that my spinning reels have strong line and lots of it. That way if I hook into something big I know I have the line strength and yardage to handle it.
You can definitely use braid on your conventional reel but it handles such a high amount of mono you may want to experiment to decide what you like better.

it doesn't sink...its braid. Unless you get sinking braid, braid floats like mono.A:
I use 6" - 8" rubber sticko or dinger worms for bass. I think it sinks better.A:
Braid is going to float. Probably floats better the mono. But there is no stretch. There is a new braid that does sink. It's called flourobriad or somethink like that.A:
Braided line will not sink like monoA:
floro sinks much easier as that is what it's designed to do. braid is much stronger. braid is much more visible also so I recommend using it only in muddy water or around lots of structure. open/clear water choose floroA:
braid floats :) flourocarbon has a higher density than water so it sinks, mono is neutrally bouyant and braid has very little density because it is a bunch of fibers braided together, therefore it flots because it traps air in the little sections of fiberA:
depending on what kinda bait you are using,it actually does really well for braid
Top 50 Contributor
A:
Good question. Fluorocarbon has a lower density than mono so it sinks more readily. I believe that braid is more buoyant than fluoro but I could be wrong.Braid is thin so it passes through water with little resistance. I am not sure what method or application you are using braid for but in my experience it sinks just fine.
I hope this helps.

Is braid stronger than monofilament and flourocarbon?Answers
A:
Yes it is much stronger then both mono and flourocarbon. The line has less stretch to it than both mono and flouroA:
i got stuck on a 50 gallon trash can that someone threw in a lake and it was #10 test and did not bust my line very strongA:
Absolutely with out a doubt way stronger than mono or fluorocarbon. Go to Bass Pro Shop & check out the line diameter to see how large the other line has to be just to match up.A:
For the size it is yes. An example would be that that #20 braid is the same diamater as #6 mono. So for the diamater it is yes.A:
Absolutely without a shadow of a doubt. It does not stretch like mono and only requires a token hook set. It is very durable and although it will change colors if you use the moss green over an extended period of time, it does not break down like mono.1 year ago
