Default PowerPro braided fishing line and bass fishing

Forget the fighting chance bit... but I've given PowerPro its' fair shake. I
do admit liking it better than the other "superlines", but I still prefer
good ole Stren myself.

I still hvae a couple of rods spooled with PP, and will continue to use it
until it's worn out, which will probably be a very loonnggg time from now,
but will not buy anymore. I bought this spool for the trip to Florida, but
all of my fishing was done with 12lb mono and I never lost a fish due to a
break off. Even with the fish that I had to go through the weeds to get, PP
would probably have resulted in a broken rod if I would have tried to horse
them through.

As far as toothy critters are concerned, I don't have to worry about that...
until the NWC that is. :-)

I have ran into another mystery fish again this year too! Maybe I'll pluck
that thing out with this PP!

I put braided/superlines in a group along with dynamite - neither gives

the
bass a fighting chance.


I understand the concept of a "fighting chance", but I think that when I'm
guiding, or fishing for money, the fish don't deserve a fighting chance.

I
figure that they've got all the chance they get when they decide to bite

or
not. Plus, if there's any toothy critters around, do you want to donate
that $17 Lucky Craft Pointer?
