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. -Eric ------------------------------------------------ www.sal****ersportswear.com Best Fishing Shirts in Town!

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. -Eric ------------------------------------------------ www.sal****ersportswear.com - Salt and Fresh water fishing shirts.

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. |

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. -- Jerry Barton www.jerrys-world.com "Eric" wrote in message ...
