PP has no peer................ I have to agree with you there, Power Pro has no peer in regards to the most outdated, over hyped line out there! PP was great line when it came out 20+ years ago but hasn't changed one bit in those 20+ years, it's still a wax coated sponge and once the wax wears off (which happens very soon) it's nothing more than a water soaking sponge. If you like braids there are so many other better options out there than PP.

That'll be tough to top!
I doubt I've banked more than 1000lbs of feesh with it in an afternoon and it wears like iron,though I'll upend a spool now and again,for giggles.
Keep THAT ball rollin,you're on fire!.................

Fireline on a spinning reel, Power Pro on a baitcaster.
Fireline is about %50 stronger than it's rated strength, and about 1/3 the diameter of the same mono test. What this means if you need to be using #4 mono, you can use #6 Fireline, have 8-10 breaking strength, and probably 10 more yards casting distance because it is so slick. In clear water tie on a flouro leader with back-to-back uni knots.

Little brighter...little "fresher"?
Only place I ever caught steelhead was in the Yakima River...they pale in comparison...
Oh, and BTW, I never seen " Big Momma" but I'm glad Sister took after her, looks wise....

Big Momma ismy Boner Of The Month...every month.(grin) Easy to arrange catching them on the tide,as they enter freshwater or to cut 'em off in the rain as they're squirting into a system. Though when "too Chrome",pics can border on the blase' sie of things,IMHO. My favorite coloration is a slight hint of blush,with a leetle rose on the cheeks. Very subjective and I'm certainly not pissed when rolling Silver Dollars all day,day in and day out.(grin) I like this. This. This. This. Even this. Mirrors in contrast,have no contrast.
