who cares if it is white it is strong

Come on Oneshot&,there are alot of strong line. In a heavy presure area presentation is most important to me. During the spawn the bass are more vulnerable but during the dawg days of summer..I need all the leverage I can get. I just like giving honest reviews Oneshot. Great line but it does change colors right quickly. I don't think it would matter alot if one used the even skinnier line. I'm putting 15 on one of my reels. That is some very thin line and with heavy vetetation the dull whitish look should not effect me getting bites or not. The lakes around my area are heavily fished so you got to knowyou are doing.

at one point I used braided lines exclusively but since went back to mono, just something about mono i like better. the power pro sounds like a hot ticket I might try some out. but asfar as fading goes all braided lines will fade. what you can do to help this is go to your local arts and crafts store and buy some non toxic permanant markers in what ever color you want. My favorite are either dark green or brown. now heres the fun part get to coloring I know you all know how to color? keep the magic markers in your pocket or tackle box or where ever you want. I never bothered recoloring more then say 15 feet up from the tag end. and just recolor as you need to.

below is direct from power pro website, as i mentioned earlier i have not used a braid that dosen't "bleach out" mainly because they are made from the fiber "micro dymeena" and "spectra" most people do exactly what HDW mentioned, one thing i'll add, and it may have already been mentioned, cut a V in the end of a marker and keep it with you in your tackle box, as several have mentioned no single line is perfect for every application, but braid has its place for sure



Coloring PowerPro
Spectra Fiber is an especially dense material that cannot be permanently dyed. The color simply encapsulates the line and will wear away with time. This is normal and does not affect the strength or performance of the line. To re-color your PowerPro line, simply use a permanent magic marker in whatever shade you prefer.
