bassjnkie Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 I read on another site the Shimano bought Innovative Textiles, Inc., the makers of Power Pro. Now Shimano really has it all, great for them and great for us. daniel
diggyj Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Its true. http://fish.shimano.com/publish/content/gl...n_acquires.html Not sure why they did, I think it's kind of a crappy line. What do others think about it? Edited January 8, 2009 by diggyj

OhioFisherman Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Just a different view, don`t know if having just a few big companies controlling the market and products offered is a good thing. Might become more of what they want to sell you than what you want to buy. Makes it easier for them to control pricing.

douG Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 I think that this is a fine time to mention that PowerPro contains SpectraFiber, a Honeywell product.
bucktail Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Have tried all the braids out there and I stick with power pro, not perfect but the right combo of properties. Now if more places sold it in bulk that would be great.
Roy Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 I think that this is a fine time to mention that PowerPro contains SpectraFiber, a Honeywell product. Now would also be a fine time to mention that SpectraFiber was discovered by pure happenstance when 5 Honeywell employees were sitting around the lunchroom picking at and examining their navel lint.
NAC Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Now that is some insight Roy! and a bit funny too. I use power pro for all my warm water fishing as well.
