I bought a rod and reel from Lizards last year that was spooled with Powerpro and I couldn't believe how good it was. However, it is tad bit expensive. Does anyone know hbow it compares to Stren Super Super Braid? I got a few of the 30 lb (8 lb diameter) Strens at Wal-Mart on clearance for four dollars apiece.
Thanks Bro. Brian Psalm 1:1-6

power pro
we have been using power pro for 2 years now on all our rigs,pitching,flipping,crank,and spinner.we love it, also one thing i have notice is the line will get in the crack of the eye, and will break the line on hook set keep an eye out for that.but by far the toughest line and sensitive i have ever used .

Tried the stren super braid and it sounded like someone running a freight train through my guides. Now that waas the 65lb test. Being as I make custom rods sounds like this are detrimental to rod guides therefore I wouldnt advise or endorsae Stren. Just aint slick and round enough to keep the wear dactor down. Power Pro when you think about it in terms of longevity is not expensive at all.

For those concerned about the price-I've had the same braid on several reels for several years, and it is still going strong. The only time I have had to respool is when I get a birdnest that requires surgery, and have since learned how to get those backlashes without having to do surgery.
