Default RE: Braid on a Baitcaster

I have Power Pro on all my baitcasters..cast great BUT you better have the spool set perfectly..backlashes are VERY tough to get out..nearly impossilbe which makes that expensive at about 10.00 a fill up..I have one now I have to cut some off..[:@][:@]two days ago I was trying to get a tad more on my cast so I losened the spool a hair..that's all it took for 2 simple turn arounds..for momo this is nothing..for braid..it makes tiny knots that will not come off. I plan to get a sharp razor and take off as little as possible..

Is it worth it..yep..20 pound Power Pro is like 6 pound test..very strong and cast nicely..

It has 2 flaws though..
a. It will bleach out {turn white over time}
b. backlashes are nearly impossible to get out..meaning you better have an extra rod.
