Default PowerPro line

Eric, save yourself the headache of the line spinning on the spool by
placing a piece of tape over your knot. Also, I find it better to spool the
whole thing with Power Pro, that way when I need to change the line I just
reel it onto another spool and use the back unused portion.

One very important thing that I almost forgot.

MAKE SU you put on a good bit of mono line before you put on your
power pro. If you skip this step, when you try to reel in a fish, your
whole line spool will spin around your spool and you will be very
upset. I learned this the hardway.

I use power pro and I love it. You can go with a high pound test and
the line diameter is very small. It is almost impossible to cut on a
sharp rock and is very dificult to cut just to tie on a leader. You
definatly want to use a leader with this line. It is one of the few
braided lines that does not trash your eyelets. I use this line for
fresh and salt water fishing and have not yet been disappointed. When
you do need to cut it, make sure you have a pair of SHARP sissors.
Nail clipper are a real pain to use to clip this line.

Is this stuff good for fishing over rocks(some sharp)?

I realize that if I get stuck I would have to cut the line.
How does it resist abrasions from hard objects?

I am looking for a line that has minimum to zero stretch that I can fish
T-rigged plastics on rocky drop offs and rock piles. I want a line that

is
smooth through the guides also.

Now I am using 12lb Stren High Impact with decent success but sometimes,
with a lot of line out, my hooksets are not as positive as I would like.

I
am thinking of upping to 15 pound test. These are SoCal bass and I am a

bit
reluctant to go heavier because the bass are a bit line shy I think.
Although...the water I fish is quite stained with 1 foot vis.

Thanks for the help.
