TT 2 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hey Guys. I haven't made a Topic on here for a while but just wanted to get my opinion out. After a reasonable Squdding Session with Breambo25 (Report found in Metro Section.) I would like to express my new found love for Power Pro Braid!! I purchased 10lb Hi - Viz Yellow Power Pro and its benefits were fantastic. I have always used Fireline but I will lists my own thoughts of benefits.1. Smooth and Very Round!2. Casts a Country Mile.3. Tracks so straight even with wind howling back at you.4. Ties perfectly with the Spectra Fibres.5. As it is not coated nice and stiff.6. Runs through the guides perfectly.6. No visible Colour Fading.I am not sure if any one else has used this product and if so I would love to here your feedback. I am so pleased that the great company Shimano has teamed up with this Braid as those products together make one wicked combo! You can find further info at: http://www.powerpro.com/ Cheers TT.

TT 2 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Please report back on how it goes UHF, I reckon it will kill the Snapper!! The great sensitivity will make short work of Ripping the Plastics back through the Water!! TT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Piranha 76 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Is it any better than the 100's of other braids out there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snake 1 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 heaps of crap braid out there! Power Pro is the one i use now because the dudes in the tackle store use it and seems pretty hassle free especially were it counts on the light stuff(4-6lb)class...cheers snake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

projoe 261 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I have been using power pro now for two years 5 & 8 lb for my breaming escapades however i find now with casting the bream lures the first couple of casts the line will stick to its self on the spool of the reel but thats all i find fault with it.

LBF 0 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I have been using power pro now for two years 5 & 8 lb for my breaming escapades however i find now with casting the bream lures the first couple of casts the line will stick to its self on the spool of the reel but thats all i find fault with it.Same problem I have here with 10lb after an intensive use this winter. The color faded but didn't influence the breaking strenght at all. It seems that it is the salt built up in the spool which made the line sticky and first few cast shorter in distance.
