What is this line exactly? It doesn't look like mono, but its definitely
not a braid or is it?

I got a spool of 14 lb in a pack for joining something, and I finally gave
it a try today. It casts very well, has little memory, and seems to be
pretty tough except that it broke at the knot and cost me a fish and one
of those expensive Secret Weapon spinner baits. I tied on another spinner
bait and cast it for another hour. Didn't get any bites, but I did snag
it up several times, and it seemded to be plenty strong enough.

Anybody use the stuff? Got any opinions on it?


I've tried a lot of different lines over the years. I've found that if it
isn't PowerPro, I don't fish it.

Call me hide-bound, call me set in my ways, but I keep trying other lines
and find that I have line twist issues, sensitivity issues, excessive
stretch and other problems. I keep going back to PowerPro.
