RE: Power Pro Question
 

Thanks for the reply. The only line I didn't like that was hyped up was the fireline.It was like fishing with wire. I had no confidence what soever. It probably would have made a good leader.;)

RE: Power Pro Question
 

i use the power pro for flippin and pitchin, and some c-rig situations, every braid i have used has "Bleached out" over time, i have heard it is because the fiber will not hold the color[&o], as mentioned flipping and pitching i have only had minimal problems, the good point is you can throw into the thickest poop and get the fish "headed in right direction" very quickly, my first objective is to get bit, worrying about getting big mamma to the boat only becomes a factor now, the down sides, broken rods, as josh mentioned especially on hard hooksets, and the chance of ripping/tearing a biggger than normal hole in the fishes lip, i have been accused of having more than an adequate hookset, but if you have ever studied the inside of a basses mouth it would make sense, to get a hook thru some of the boney areasrequires a sharp hook and hookset, also, like mez mentioned,in some rocky lakes/bottoms compisitionsbraid will wear very quickly on a c-rig, but likes been said before, it is like running over a brick with a lawnmower, as far as sensitivity goes.. some loveit, some hate it, i say it has a place, but no single line is ideal for all fishing conditions;)

Amen to that brother Keith. I use braided exclusely on my flipping / pitching rod. and I use braided when fishing tough structure. I just bought some Silver Thread and plan to give it a try. I can't find no monofilament that won't kink up when fishing a rubber worm.Sure ...they are fine for an hour and 1/.2 but then the twirls start happening ;and this is using my baitcaster.

Mostly Texas now that you mentioned it. I don't get to many kink ups when Carolinaing it.

I've used them all and from my experience Power Pro is the toughest of the bunch.

As far as the fading goes, simply take a black magic marker and slit the tip down the middle.

Place the faded line in the slit and you can change it to black again. Of course you only need to do this to the first three or four feet above the lure.

Well....I got a spool of Power Pro in my pocket from Walmart. I wnated something skinny but strong .WOW 8pound diameter 30 POUND TEST that should do her.I don't set my hook like Josh and MThands so I probably won't bust any rods.;)
