power pro?

[kbkindle]

kbkindle here started useing power pro on and all top water, buzzbaits etc. it is so senative iam trying it on crankbaits and spinner baits wonder how much depth i'am loosing by this braid i use 15 lb power pro on plastics i just add a little more weight. man there is nothing to me that compairs to the feel of power pro braid the moss green color does not seem to bother the catch ratio in this muddy water of my home lakes kb

oh god why is it ya got to draw them hoosier's a picture?? kb get it right the first time instead of doing it wrong and lose fish because of it.. in simple terms braid +treble hooks= lost fish..and you doing this->

Don't mind zooker, he just hasn't evolved enough yet rotfl. I use it for my cranks. The upside is the feel of the cranks, it allows you to get deeper(50lb powerpro has 12lb mono diameter). The downside is you definately need a medium rod, with a soft tip, and make sure your drag is loose. You can pull the hooks out if you don't play the fish. But guess what, you can do that with mono toooooooooooooooo. Oh yeah you be surprised at how many cranks you get back too. May have some bent trebbles, but you get it back LOL,

lizard hit the nail on the head. great line, helps cranks go deeper but make sure you use a rod that has some give to it. The only thing I don't like about power pro is how often I cut myself on the line because of its thin diameter......but really, I ain't complaining, the line kicks ***. The line will save you money by not losing lures, and because of how thin the line is, you can use a mono backing, then put your braid on top so you don't have to use a lot of line to spool hte reel. once you've had the line on for a while and need to respool, you can simply take the line off and reverse it. The end that once was tied to the lure can now be tied to the back, and the end that was tied to the backing can now be tied to the lure......essentially recycling the unused line.

[lizardsrule]

KB,

I spent thousand of hours Skiing on Lake Shafer , and very few fishing it. If I knew then what I know now, then it would have been the opposite. But I did have a lot of greatd times there, with a broken rib or two LOL. My sister and family still share a place up there with all my Bro-In-Laws family.

i use sufix braid with cranks and hardly ever lose a fish.use a soft tip graphite rod and loosen the drag at the boat and you'll have no problems.

[bassnman30]

I like Stren Flouro. 10 lb test. Light line low stretch. Can handle big fish as well.

Hmmmmm....Summer day...upholstery around 105 degrees (Fahrenheit)=Broiled bass. At least one eye blinded. Nice treatment for a fine game fish.
Howzabout holding the poor critter, getting a quick pic, then releasing it gently and quickly.
Just sayin'...

I was thinkin the same thing, but in celcius!

fly swatter is right. even when i take pitures i snap it quickly put the camera in my pocket and speed draw my pliers. pop the hooks out and back in the drink 30 seconds flat.. i had a nice 3 pound bass bleed on me sunday- like a stuck pig- i put him in the live well with some rejuvinate left him in there for and hour and let him go.. he was raising cane in the live well... took me 20 mintues to get the blood washed off my boat,rods,ect....

the whole point is to release a LIVE fish. not a half cooked one.. if you sit down and it burns yuor butt what do you think it will do to a fish..

SOONIERS pht!!!

"No, you've dug her up twice this week already!"
