Van, Power Pro is made by Spectra it is a braided line, very similar to cortland. Isn't flat like fireline, isn't as light in the air as whiplash, so it doens't knot up as easily.

Nice stuff, tried it on my 7'er a few years ago, went with 20 lb test on spinning and had alot of knot trouble, I am going to try 30 this year, but if the same thing happens I am going back to my trusty 14 lb test fireline on my light rod. Everybody has there own preference for braided lines. have found that after trying alot of different ones I have gone back to fireline.

One flaw that the fireline has is that it is coated and if you do not have hard guides on your rod it will cut the tip guide and from the friction of the line going thru the guides it will fray a bit and cause you more wind knots. But with hard guides this problem is eliminated.
