Have you noticed the amount of fuzz that comes off PPro and gets under your
reel on the seat as the season progresses.

I started using PowerPro last year and so far, I really like. I have

used Fire Line, but have not been as happy with that line (although, I

the way it looks after a short time of usage and I cannot tell whether
the
line is nicked or not. PowerPro seems to look better longer.

I am just curious if any of you PowerPro or Fire Line users have used
Stren's braided line and what comments you might have about it.

Thanks,

Finally a question I can answer!

Stren Super Braid and Power Pro are extremely similar. Stren uses the
same Spectra fiber that Power Pro uses. The difference is in the
number of strands in the braid. Power Pro is a 4 strand braid and the
Stren uses 6. The differences are very subtle. The stren holds color
just a bit longer and stays more "round" where PPro can "oval" over
time. When talking to a Stren rep (at the Cabela's grand opening in
PA) I asked specifically about the difference from PPro. He basically
said PPro is a great product and that's why they "copied" them for
their product. To quote: "If you are going to copy, you copy from the
best out there."

I am happy with both lines. The both cast great, have good abrasion
resistance and, of course, have the sensitivity that braid offers.
