If you're gonna do a comparison Bob, why on earth would you compare 20
pound
line to 50 pound line??? Would you expect 50# mono to cast as far as 20#
mono?

No I was comparing similar diameter lines, and wondering what the premise of
that anecdotal claim was. I was noticing that I was catching more fish the
other day when pitching using a friends tacke than I usually catch with my
own. I started comparing the differences, and the first thing I noticed is
that we were pitching from further out than I normally do. I tried pitching
from that distance next time I went out and noticed I really had to work to
reach the weedline, and I couldn't get back into the cover at all.

Of course I could switch to a heavier bait, but then the fall rate, splash
and all kinds of other things are affected as well. I hate to mess up
something that is working. Kinda like my search for the optimal stick worm
presentation.


And a cast is not a pitch.


Yup. Its not, but it is were I could easily compare differences since I had
both ready to try out. I haven't spooled up PP on any of my casting stuff,
and I cringe at the thought of running that rough line over the rollers on
my spinning reels. I know its smooth compared to older style braids and
some other super lines, but its still rough compared to mono or
flourocarbon.

C'mon now...

C'mon yourself. So when you gonna come to Yuma and show us bumpkins how to
catch some fish?

Ok, I do not get this. Sure Power Pro is better than many of hte older
braids, but I have issues with this fromt he Power Pro website.

always
cast to where the fish are with PowerPro."

I have experimented with PP vs Flourocarbo for pitchign which is in my
opinion one of the applications most affected by anything that can be
affected by anything when it comes to distance.

20LB Seaguar easily pitches further than 50LB PP. Even a rooky like me
can
see the difference on identical rods with the same weight weight and
plastic.
