Default PowerPro braided fishing line and bass fishing

I too enjoy the braided lines after a recommendation from Steve last year.
I use both PowerPro and FireLine. I think I prefer PowerPro as I bought
both just to experiment. After my FireLine is gone, I plan to stick with
PowerPro. I have not tried Stren's braided line yet.

I have been using PowerPro also with slip bobbers for crappie fishing.
Steve had a great article on crappie fishing and did mention the
disadvantages to using braided lines in that situation. For slip bobbers,
the braided line does not slip through the bobber as easily as mono. I have
either had to add a little more weight or jerk my line a little bit to get
it to slip. It still works well. If I ever get some extra spools for my
reels, I will probably keep mono around for the slip bobber situation.

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?
