urbanangler1990 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) power pro is thin, and it casts smooth, havent tried fireline yet, and am told to go with power pro always, i got the new red phantom, disappears under 5, 10 feet, cus its the first color in the spectrum to fade underwater...

Raf Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) you'll never go back to fireline urbanangler, it's true that red is the first colour to fade under water.. fades to black. the red line is nothing but a gimmick.

hawg_hauler Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Power pro is extremely limp compared to Fireline and it might take some getting used to. The sensitivity factor will astonish you as you can feel everything with Power pro. I am not very fond of the stuff but I use it for the sensitivity factor alone.

ssauvain Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Ok I am getting sold on using it. Now if I was to use the 6lb. fireline for my walleye fishing...what test should I use of power pro? I am thinking of my two spinning pflueger putting 20 lb. on and one of my pike rods 30 lb...does that sound about right???? Thanks for all the help folks.

Raf Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 sure does. the idea with braided lines is to match the diameter of the line, not line stregth to whatever you are using (ie. 12lb Mono = 50lb PP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I use 40 lb PP on my heavy bass stick. You know how getting stuck in a stem of a lillypad is usually an issue.... well with PP you can pull up the whole patch and then some. Seriously strong stuff, and the vision factor isnt really a problem especially when fishing cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
