Power Pro

I have used braided (spider wire) lines for several years now on both
spinning and casting reels. I don't think I'll ever go back to mono. I now
use power pro 4/15 on my spinner and 6/20 on the baitcaster. Love it.

My 2 cents:

Diameter on braids may be much smaller than equivalent LB test mono, however
diameter to equivalent diamter mono cast farther. In other words, 10/2
powerpro does NOT cast as far as 2LB mono.

I attribute this to first the surface of each line -- mono has to have less
friction than braid -- it smoother. Second, my guess is that diameter and
weight are 2 different matters. Braid is heaver for a given diameter than
mono (speculation on my part). Anyone want to weigh a spool of each and
report back?

I bought a couple of spools at the fishing shows this spring. The sales reps
tossed in a couple of hats on the purchase. I use power pro and fireline. I
like power pro's knot holding capability. I do believe that fireline has less
stretch than power pro and fireline really cuts the weeds.

Warren took the words out of my mouth. The point of the ad is to compare
50lb power pro to 50lb mono. The obvious advantage to Power Pro is the
smaller diameter with more strength. If you compare by strength the power
pro is better in pretty much every respect. Frankly, apart from light
tackle at or under 10lb test, I cant think of any reason to use mono for
anything.
