Otherwise I found it to have way too much stretch and it snaps rather easily IMO I have to agree with the snap part when you are in hard hook set situations. I like it for crankbaits, spinner baits, etc. I am trying gamma now after trying power pro. I got rid of the power pro because I do not trust braided line when it comes to spooking fish and I will tell you why. I feed bream off my pier and you can catch a mess pretty easily with some Berkley niblits UNLESS you use one pole I have with 20# Spider wire on it. They will not touch it. |

I agree that using braid is completely dependent on your presentation.
If your presentation is sitting still, I would definitely use something other than braid, and Fluorocarbon 100% of the time. But if I am pitching or flipping into weeds or wood I am using power pro , at least 50lb. If I am throwing a tube in dirty water, I am using power pro straight, if I am throwing a tube in clear water I am using power pro (for feel) with a 2 or 3' Fluorocarbon leader. Same with a carolina rig, I will use PP main line, and a fluoro leader. Crankbaits and jerkbaits I use Fluoro mainline (CarbonPro or P-Line Fluorocarbon). Spinnerbaits (17lb most of the time, have used fluoro as well for no good reason) and topwaters I use Mono. I guess that is about it. Chris wrote: Alwaysfishking wrote: wrote in message ps.com...

Chris Way too complicated for day to day fishing in a catch and release lake. I think I am going to like the Gamma for texas rigging and I have had the same braided line up to the swivel for some time on my carolina rig. Other than that, all mono, all the time. If they break it, I will just lie about how big it was. |
