thinking of using this size braid for lite inshore fishing in ches-bay. mainly on boat . i am leaning towards using suffix braid, but i hear fireline is clearly the strongest pound for pound braid out there, but sometimes fireline either digs in spools or damage guides. to use this line on a penn slammer reel and a 7'0"ft M tiger uglystik.

I'VE USED SUFFIX 30LB BRAID AND I REALLY LIKE IT. I'VE ALSO USED FIRELINE BUT IT HAD THE TEXTURE OF DENTAL FLOSS AND WAS FLAT INSTEAD OF ROUND, IT ALSO HAD ALOT OF LINE TWIST, DIDN'T CARE FOR IT TO MUCH. MY FAVORITE BRAID IS CABELA'S RIPCORD SI PLUS. IT'S TOUGH. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH BRAID

Braid,

We are using strictly Power Pro. Our Penn Slammers love it. Didnt care much for the red. Moss green has been the color of choice.

Hope this helps.

Tight Lines

On Course

If you want it to last, use power pro, if not, use any other.

tuff line or power pro. tuff line is i believe the company that has been doing it the longest. it is basically the same as pp. i don't like the stren or fireline. high vis yellow or green. don't like the red.
casey

^^^what I was gonna say

Power Pro for sure.

i have it on one of my casting rods, its been on there for over 2 years now, its very faded but still strong as ever.

you can't beat 65lb test at a 16lb diameter.

ive been using 30 lb power pro for about a year and the only reason i changed it is because i cut it too many times to switch hooks or lures. it is clearly the best

PowerPro. I use 10 lb on my spinning rod (Penn 4500 reel) to cast for stripers. Caught fish up to 43" with no problems. I use a 20 lb mono leader to my lure. I love the stuff, you can feel every head shake, etc when fighting the fish. I also use 50 lb Powerpro on my mojo trolling setup.

I agree with the Power Pro. I have fire line on one of my rods and i hate it lots of twist. I have spider wire braid on one of my other rods and it is ok. But power pro by far casts the best.

POWER PRO works wonders on pilons rocks and the light tower

Add another vote for the moss green power pro!

Unlike Power Pro, Stren Super Braid stays round even after being under pressure on the reel. It is also more abrasion resistant.

I am impressed by the almost unanimous vote for power-pro! I have been using Power-pro for over 7 years now. I have at least one reel that has the same line for over 2 years with no noticeable degradation. I have used Spiderwire, Fireline, Fins, and the Stren superbraid- each of which I felt had their drawbacks. PP stays supple, has no memory, casts great, and lays on the spool nicely. Honestly, I have been so satisfied with PP that it has been years since I touched anything else. I can think of only 2 drawbacks which are; 1. you can cut yourself pretty easily when pulling knots tight and 2. the color tends to wash out over time. I have found that other braids tend to be too stiff and even seem to have a slight memory (spider wire was like that when it first came out). The sensitivity of PP (or any braid for that matter) is just incredible... getting the slightest hit is like running over a brick with your lawnmower! Seriously. If anyone else thinks their line is better that PP (and has past experience using PP), please speak up.

We use power pro on all our rods and it works great.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!POWER PRO!!!!!!!!!!!

now i do like sufix braid when you are on surf or pier
(smoothness of casting) but would fireline because of its strength be better suited for fishing on boat

JMHO
you are better suited to use 30lb sufix braid, or 14lb fireline. 20lb fieline is the same diameter as 30lb braid so both lines strength are near the same. so why dont you go with sufix , pp, or stren braid in 30lb test (more smoothness and more strength).
but if you want fireline than i would consider the 14lb which is equiv. to 6lb mono!!

POWER-PRO..... The name says it all...

Power Pro

some people say lb per lb Tuff line is better and less expensive than Sufix, PP , and
fireline

heres my decision!!!


since i have 2 spools for my penn slammer 460 im going to use 14lb fireline for fish smaller like croakers, span-macs , spots ,flounder, and white perch, and for the other spool ill use 30lb tuf-line for stripers, blues, & seabass in the ches-bay
