braided line

I've been using power pro for a fair length of time. I have a lot of
trouble with it looping and resulting in a knot well into the spool. I
use a spinning reel. Tried various suggested solutions all to no avail.
Is there any other braided line that I could use. (other than fireline)
Thanks

I use Power Pro on all my spinning reels without any problem (10 lb test)

Did you try returning it to Wal*Mart?

I use Power Pro on all my rods, no matter what typr of reel. I put 10
lb test on my ultralight (approx same dia as 4lb mono) and 20 lb test
on my medium spinning rig. I have found that most line problems on
spinning reels can be attributed to lin twist. I tie the Power Pro
main line to a ball bearing swivel and then tie a flourocarbon leader
onto the other end of the swivel. This has greatly reduced tangeling
on my spinning reels.

I have one spinning rod spooled with braid for those days when I have a kid
fishing and pitchig senkos into the trash is the only way to get bit. I
don't recall any problems with it.

Hate to sound so "me too" here, but Power Pro is fine for spinning reels in
my opinion (10 and 20lb test on various size reels). The key is to get it
spooled initially with as little line twist as possible. At least, that's
what I key on.

Honestly, I doubt if you're having issues with twisting/looping, that any
other brand would perform any better in the same situation. YMMV.

I've been using PowerPro since it became available in my area. When I have
problems with the line, 95% of the time it's because it wasn't packed tight
enough on the spool. When I initially spool it on, I have someone hold the
spool to maintain tension and make sure the line is tight. After fishing it
for a while, it will loosen up on the top layer. At that point I either tie
the end to something solid and back down the driveway until I'm into the
tight line. Then, with the drag cranked down tight, I wind the line back on
the spool.

If I'm out on the water when this happens (which isn't often), I'll tie on a
big-lipped, deep diving crankbait, cast as far as I can and motor away.
Again, once down into the tight line, I crank the bait back in. It doesn't
happen too often, but occasionally I'll pick up a nice fish in the process!
