Default PowerPro braided fishing line and bass fishing

Hey group,

I've been using PowerPro (15 lb test) braided fishing line for sal****er
fishing and it works GREAT! Has anyone been using it for bass fishing in
freshwater? If you have, what have been the results. Catch more or less
fish?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Halon

You really haven't been on this group long have you? I've been a VERY vocal
proponent of PowerPro for years. I use the 10 and 50 pound on just about
all of my reels and find it to work great. While some may feel that the
visibility of the line can reduce the number of strikes, I've found that I
catch more fish because I can feel the bite and get the fish out. I'm sure
there's some that might argue with me, but that's all right.

I use it on a couple of my rods. As a semi-beginner, it has helped me a
lot to feel just what my lure is doing, and what the bottom is like. I
still use mono in some cases, but the PowerPro is my preferred line. I
would definitely say it has helped me catch more fish.

The best thing about mono is that you always get some free when you renew
your Bassmaster subscription.

I put braided/superlines in a group along with dynamite - neither gives the
bass a fighting chance.

Huh? Why would a tourney pro want to give the prey a fighting chance?

Lets go with semi-pro, ok Bobby? lol...

I dunno, I just LOVE hooking a big bass on light mono, having to loosten up
on the drag while running to the back of the boat in an effort to keep him
on (just ask Thundercat). Something about pulling in a 5 pound fish with 50
pound line that just doesn't do it for me.

Guys guys guys. . . . 99% of bass fishing is what is hanging on BEHIND
the reel and NOT IN FRONT OF IT.

PS: The Zen Basser returns to the water today after some cosmetic
rebuild and painting done. I'll write of my success or failure today
and try to list as many possible brands names as I can grin
