bird i use a palomar knot, sounds like what your tying, on some braids they have a coating, some do not, power pro does itand makes knot tying easier, don't remember right off the others that coat or don't coat, the palomar knot is supposed to retain 80%+ line strenght, and it pretty much my favorite, plus its quick and easy;)

huntnbud, thanks for the heads up on the vanish, i'm kind of partial to berkley but i did not care for the gorilla braid they had[:@], but as far as tough mono, big game is bad news

Maybe I'm the only one who found this.. But I tried powerpro on my texas rig setup, and it was just TOO sensitive. I would feel a bite, set the hook, and come up empty. Switch to mono and I immediately started hooking the fish. However, Its great on a carolina rig in deep water. For everything else, I use Yo Zuri Hybrid.

This stuff huh??

My brother is heavy into fishing and his line of choice is the Spider Wire...

RE: Best Line
 

I used Spider Wire for a while....until some other braids came out.Then I started comparing them. There is a wide variety of briads out there now to choose from . It's hard to know which one to chose from .That's why I like talking about products on here. we re pretty much non bias here and can give a pretty good review.

The Power Pro line - does it has a outside covering on the braid? - does it function more like mono on the reel - I have had trouble with the braided line wrapping around the tip of the rod - Thanks for your replies!

Good question ...Stren Braid is bad about wrapping around eyelets...but it gets bites and is strong. I didn't go fishing this morning. I decided to make breakfast for my wife and fellowship with her. I get one more week off before i go back to school. One more week to fish .;)My wife had to go back to school early for she is the Network Manager of our school. I'll get some of that Power Pro today and give it a good work out next week. Then I'll give my honest opinion. Looks good when I opened up a package in Wally. My problem is I don't know whether to go with 20 pound or higher.

Sure thing Chuck 7 - give me some input on the Power line - I am curious - I am thinking about going with the 8dia or 10 dia which is rated for 30-40 lbs! What about color - white - is that white or flourescent clear like mono?

I swear by Spiderwire Fusion. Great all around line for the price. Problem is, they seem to have stopped making the stuff :(.
