LOL, just because a good fisherman does well using a particular
product does
not mean its the best product. The biggest thing I dislike about PP
is that
the sawing noise on the guides starts to get on my nerves after half a
day.
Its a good line, but you really should try some Stren Super Braid.
IMO the
Stren does have one problem. It will get weaker faster than the PP.
Not a
lot faster, but more often. That's not an issue for a pro who changes
line
before every tournament or even an angler who spools on fresh line
every
month, but for most of us who may have to use the same line all season
it
can be a minor issue. If I'm casting I much prefer the Stren. I seem
to be
able cast it much further in the same size line than the PP. I think
it
catches the wind less on a day with a blow coming in too, but if its
blowing
bad I tend to switch to mono or flouro depending on what I am fishing
anyway. Neither catches the wind as bad as braid.
As a guide, I'm cheap about some things. I like a line that can withstand
an entire season's worth of abuse, so the longer life is important to me.
Plus, I love the sound of the line through the guides, that means I have a
fish on! :-)
I haven't noticed any problems with the line on windy days, but maybe I just
wasn't paying attention.
