PowerPro braided fishing line and bass fishing

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

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!

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

Today's short outing was my first bass fishing trip in Iowa this year.
I spent all my other trips 'til now catching crappie.

A cold front just went through droping tems from 80's to 50's and the
wind was shifting from the south to the east about 12 - 15 mph.

I managed one bass in about 3 hours a nice 5-1 on a Chartruse and White
Secret Weapon with a single gold blade, 30 lb power pro and a Shimano
Curado.

I call it my ROFB presentation.

Chartreuse and White must be an awesome bait, cause we sell an awful lot of
them. I was also watching a show last night on tv about Tennessee
fisherpeople. More than one stated that Chartreuse and White was all they
used. Of course, they had to buy several baits to get their blade
configuration... hehe. I really thought about getting in contact with them,
but most of them had Strike King sewn somewhere on their outfit.

Nevertheless, I'm gonna have a couple of Chartreuse and White baits with me
at all times!

I learned that from reading Paul Crawford

http://www.bassangler.com/articles/crawford/paulc.htm

And I use his "Bird Dog lure" much of the time to find fish, then I'll
see if different bait will catch more or not..... I prefer to use a
hammered nickle willow leaf blade.....which is hard to find from you's
guys -- so I'll take one from a different spinner bait and hook it into
your bait.

My go to colors in spinner baits a Chartruse and White, Wounded Shad
and black.

And there is something about your "trailer blades" that really attract
hits.

Maybe you can strike a marketing deal with Paul.....

I understand the concept of a "fighting chance", but I think that when I'm
guiding, or fishing for money, the fish don't deserve a fighting chance. I
figure that they've got all the chance they get when they decide to bite or
not. Plus, if there's any toothy critters around, do you want to donate
that $17 Lucky Craft Pointer?

Forget the fighting chance bit... but I've given PowerPro its' fair shake. I
do admit liking it better than the other "superlines", but I still prefer
good ole Stren myself.

I still hvae a couple of rods spooled with PP, and will continue to use it
until it's worn out, which will probably be a very loonnggg time from now,
but will not buy anymore. I bought this spool for the trip to Florida, but
all of my fishing was done with 12lb mono and I never lost a fish due to a
break off. Even with the fish that I had to go through the weeds to get, PP
would probably have resulted in a broken rod if I would have tried to horse
them through.

As far as toothy critters are concerned, I don't have to worry about that...
until the NWC that is. :-)

I have ran into another mystery fish again this year too! Maybe I'll pluck
that thing out with this PP!
