10X STRONGER THAN STEEL

Older, first-generation superlines were made of abrasive aramids that could cut rod guides and take a toll on equipment. PowerPro solves these problems through super slick, non-abrasive Spectra Fiber composition and unique EBT processing. Other complaints about superlines arose simply because the technology was so new, and few people knew how to take proper advantage of it. The Using PowerPro quick guide takes the mystery out of using a superline and guarantees a satisfying fishing experience from the first cast!

In addition to enhancing your enjoyment and increasing your catch, PowerPro slightly changes the way you set up for a day of fishing. PowerPro works great with any kind of reel, so you don't need any special equipment. Still, switching from mono to PowerPro is like trading your fly swatter in for a two-by-four: it takes a little care to get used to all that
"The incredible sensitivity of PowerPro microfilament line enhances your catch ratio in a dramatic fashion. Being able to feel every action of the bait or artificial lure, transmitted to the rod tip, will enable you to set the hook at the first indication of a strike. The no stretch quality will give you the edge to turn the fish away from snags and structure."

Pros:	Strong, thin, highly sensitive
Cons:	Cost, color rubs off over time

I tried this line on a rig I was setting up to be "ultra sensitive" for trout fishing. I liked it so well I'm switching all my light tackle reels to it. It is small for its strength (4:1 ratio compared to mono) so you can get more of it onto the reel, very durable (I fish around alot of oyster rocks), and cuts throught the air and water with ease - resulting in farther and more accurate casts. It's very sensitive so you an feel even the slightest tap on your line. It has very little stretch so you fish it a little different - it take only a very light snap of the line to set the hook. It is very expensive compared to mono - but I think it will hold up better and it fishes better so it's worth it for me. Also they say the coloring will rub off of the line after a while.

I'm using Power Pro on my In shore rods now for several reasons one the increase in line capacity that you get with the same poundage line, I beleive that does in fact cast farther, and it is super sensitive. I use a 2ft flourocarbon leader and I have found the combination to be extremely effective. Because it last longer that mono I beleive the additional cost comes into balance. I'm planning to purchase some of the 6# line to put on my Crappie Jigging rods.

Pros:	No stretch, very sensitive, tough
Cons:	cost

Since my first review of this line, I switched all my grouper reels over to Power Pro this winter. I use Penn Senator Specials which have a huge line capacity for mono let alone braid - so I left a good deal of the mono on the spool as a backing to keep the retrieve ratio high. I put 200 yards of braid on top.

Wow! What a difference. I lost very few groupers this winter due to breakoffs when they run into their hole - even on wrecks. Not because the braid is tougher (which it is) but because there is almost no stretch and increased senstivity to detect the slightest movement of the bait. That meant the grouper had less opportunity to get back in his hole before I could yank him off the bottom. Great stuff!

Great line. Power Pro dosn't get matted to the reel like some other types of braid.
