Power pro vs Stren Super Braid

I've been happy with Power pro but my buddy tells me Stren is far superior.
any opinions will be appreciated.

I have some time fishing both.

The Power Pro is good stuff, but the Stren Super Braid stays rounder. It
also has a coating that seems to flow through the eyes better and quieter.

I pretty much fish the Stren for everything in one size or another except
for ultra clear water, and topwater.

Started out using FireLine, then Stren Superbraid came out. Spooled up
some Superbraid and never looked back.

It's extremely smoothe and doesnt cut into itself the way Fireline did.
Never used PowerPro, so can't compare that.

Out of the 3 I like the Stren the best, stays colored much longer and
doesn't fray as easy as the other two. Lasts a lot longer. Now if I was just
fishing Lilly Pads all day, I would have to go with the fireline. It cuts
through pads better than any other line I have tied on

Randy,

How is the castability on a baitcaster? I am thinking of trying it on
one of the new reels I bought. I am guessing it is as good as if not
better than PowerPro???? Also, what is the lightest they make? I think
Power Pro has a 2/10 version.

Thanks

Chris

I'm not sure about the lightest line they make. I use 30 lb braid fishing
in all sorts of sticks, stumps, rocks and brush and never have a problem
with it. No castability issues at all it's very smooth compared with the
fireline and power pro

S-wire is still my favorite. Like Randy I use 30lb in the slop on a
baitcaster.
