Not Quite Sold,
August 31, 2009
By ChrisPittCounty
from North Carolina
Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money
Disadvantages: tends to tangle easily
"I'm using PowerPro for the first time after 40 years of monofilament. The strenght is increadible. I'm using the 50 test for river, sound, and surf fishing and it holds up well. It's super light and I am casting further than ever before. Because it's so light, feeling the fish at the business end is phenominal. Knots stay exactly were you tie them and there is no discernable stretch.
The only problem that I have experienced so far is the tangling of this line. Egg weights or a miss-cast can create a trangle that is almost impossible to sort out. But like I said, I'm just starting out with it. As with any other product, you have to get used to what you are using.
I'd recommend this for anyone. The strenght versus diameter is worth the price!"

Garbage!!!!!,

Disadvantages: Appearance, Difficult to use, Durability, Performance, gunks up your real
"This line is junk. It's messy, in that it leaves brown clumpy mess all over my reel. it loses color REALLY fast, and gets very ropey. Plus last week I had my first real lunker of he year snap off 30# test halfway in effortlessly! before I would've said it was worth the money. But since they've raised the price, I have to seriously suggest just using something else. That new sonic braid is working out really well for me."

Great line,
April 26, 2009

Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design
"A tennis pro in florida showed me this line over 3 years ago. He used it to fish in golf course ponds for largemouth bass. Over a year or two he landed many double digit bass, one of them reaching 17 lbs!!! I started using power pro immideatly after he introduced me to this line. I splooled the 30 lb braid on a meduim sized spinning reel (Abu Garcia Cardinal, holding 210 yards of 10lb test) and caught many bass. That same spool of line is on that reel to this day. The reel and line has been through three different rods that have broken due to constant use. The line and reel have caught Both smallmouth and largemouth bass, bream, catfish, pompano, snapper, ladyfish, hardtails, pinfish, spanish mackerel, bluefish, and KING MACKEREL.
The things i love most about power pro is that it has zero spool memory, very abrasion resistant, very limp and doesnt twist and kink up like monofilament, and the diameter is so thin that i can catch 20 lb pelagic gamefish on tackle that is made to be fished with for bass up to around 5 or 6 lbs. And not to mention that ive been using the same spool of line for three years.
Power Pro has its place in fishing but monofilament is still better for some types of fishing. braided line has little to no stretch at all, while mono stretches to give you and the fish alittle bit more comfort. Monofilament line is better for jumping fish and fish with soft mouths. The reason being is that when a fish jumps (Bass, Lady fish, Tarpon, etc.) the line will stretch alittle giving the fish more comfort. Fish with soft mouths (many types of mackerel) will shake thier heads and the hook wont pull do to line stretch.
Power Pro has its advantages and disadvantages. Some things about it are good for some fish but bad for others. Another thing i like about braid is that due to its near zero stretch, you can have more control over your lure in deeper water, plus its way more sensitive. Braid lets you rip a jig through the water exactly how fast and how far you want it to go. Mono will stretch and not move the jig as much as you think your moving it. Power Pro is the only braid i've ever used. I like braid because it lets you muscle a fish up and lets your casts fly much farther due to its thin diameter But mono still has its place in me.
If your mind is set on using braid for a certain type of fishing i definatley recommend Power Pro, for the reason that it last so long. It might be a few more bucks than other braids but it will pay for itself when you dont have to respool at the end of the year.
Think about another thing. There are many companys that make all different types of fishing line such as monofilament, flourocarbon, and braid, but Power Pro makes only braid. Wouldnt you trust a company that puts all thier time into one type of line rather than producing all other sorts of line. They definalty are making the best braided line on the market today."

Best fishin line ever!!!!,
February 14, 2009
By WTL38
from Delaware
"I switched from mono to power pro braid 2 yrs ago and I will never go back. I use the 50 lb test to fish from inlet rock walls to consistently catch stripers up to 30 lbs. The small diameter allows me to cast live eels with no additional weight. I also use the 50 lb. line on all of my surf rods to catch all species of fish from Cape Hatteras to Delaware. No more need for different size mono on different rods. Power pro is very strong, very sensitive, and greatly improves casting distance."

"I'm not sold on this line I've used it twice and
both times it twisted up on me and rolled
out of the barrell in small circles wrapping
around my Reel and and rod. This is not
fun to try and unwrap when Night fishing in
a jonboat."

Best Braid for ALLROUND USE,

(click to see full-size image)
"All I can say is this is The Braided Line also as a Allround Line!!
Have had and still have this line (5,8,10,15,20,30Lb ,80lb) used for all types of fishing, Spinning, Casting, Flippin, Trolling,DropShot Carpfishing. Used and abused it in sweet or saltwaters,this line meet rocks, sandy spots, grawel beds,trees, reefs and did never give up. Best to keep the line strenght at maximum I use a No-Knot (only for braided lines) to ring it to baits, Quicksnaps, swivels, leaders etc...Added a picture to show, no knot required and the line does not get the chance to cut it self.
This is a line that erverybody should try and see if they ever would want to changed back to a other braided line. Myself, No I do Not want to miss this line anymore.""

BEST BRAID EVER!!!!,
October 25, 2008
By WBJMP
from VA
"Wow, this braid is amazing. It can stand up to anything without breaking. I have this on my Penn senator 113 for a float rig in saltwater. I got a 7 ft, 250 pound spinner shark on my rig and I fought it for about a half hour. Then my wire on my rig kinked and broke. But I had to lock him down and pump him in. No frays, and still just as strong. Get this braid, trust me you won't be disappointed"

"What can I say, this line has never broken on me. PowerPro provides the greatest sensitivity of any line I have used, plus it adds a few yards to your casts."

By Bass_pike_fisherman09
"My brother in-law intoduced this line to me 2 years back. I fell inlove with it! I have never bought another brand of line since then. The mono i was using was garbage compared to Power Pro line. Longer,smoother casting and sensitivity made it beautiful. Not to mention the strength."

PowerPro Micro Filament Line,
November 29, 2006
By Skeeter1
from Rices Landing, Pa
"A friend turned me on to Power Pro while we were pre fishing the Susquehanna Flats in Maryland. I spooled up that night, and the difference it made was unbelievable. The sensitivity of the line aloud me to detect strikes and feel the bottom far better than the mono I had been using. The bottom line is that I caught more fish! Thanks!"
